Ep. #67 - Cultures of Energy 6

A special bonus podcast this week offers a mosaic of keywords and reflections from participants in CENHS's annual energy humanities extravaganza. Cymene and Dominic lead things off with a discussion of Margaret Thatcher's own private restroom and what it takes to be identified as an artist these days. Then (14:25) Leah Stokes (UC Santa Barbara) talks "Republicans" and why we need them to make progress on climate change; (18:05) Timothy Moss (Humboldt U Berlin) engages the complexities of "municipalization" when it comes to energy; (21:20) our own postdoctoral fellow Abby Spinak explains why "craft" has become so meaningful to her of late; (25:39) Jón Gnarr returns to the pod to muse on "cycles" of energy addiction; (31:20) Conor Harrison (U South Carolina) discusses "islands" as sites of experimentation with renewable energy and finally (34:22) artist and engineer Natalie Jeremijenko (Environmental Health Clinic and Lab) talks "taxidermy" in the context of her Museum of Natural Futures project. Thanks for all your support and kind wishes, dear listeners. Get ready for Cultures of Energy 7 coming your way in April 2018!!
