Remaking energy systems and developing solutions to climate change require understanding the complex social and cultural forces that shape people’s relationships with each other and to energy. This project seeks to deepen understanding of the histories and cultures of energy, across geographic regions and temporal scales, with lessons to guide future energy transitions. Through research, teaching, and public engagement, the Energy Humanities Project will examine past and current efforts to shape energy systems, identify important cultural barriers to change, and share vital lessons for future policy and societal change.
