Nate Otjen introduces Season 2 of the "Mining for the Climate" podcast and expands on its central idea of the “energy colony.” Focusing on lithium mining in Nevada’s McDermitt Caldera, he traces how green energy projects reproduce older extractive and colonial logics, reshaping relations among land, infrastructure, and life.
The Petrocultures Research Group's After Oil Collective recently began its After Oil 3 (AOS 3) project. One result of the first AOS 3 meeting is a six-episode podcast series called Volatile Trajectories, which has just been released online and as part of the Environmental Humanities Month 2022 Program. The podcast episodes were written and recorded over a day and a half at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity in October 2022. They feature leading and emerging energy humanities researchers in conversation about how we move beyond fossil fuels and climate crisis.
