DESCRIPTION:This conference will be held via Zoom. Please visit our website
	 for the list of speakers\, program schedule and to register. Organized by
	 Robert N. Watson (University of California\, Los Angeles)\, Tiffany Jo We
	rth (University of California\, Davis)\, and Todd Borlik (Purdue Universit
	y).California boasts itself as a hub for transitioning energy from fossil 
	fuels to renewable sources such as wind\, water\, and solar power. Taking 
	this local\, contemporary perspective as its departure point\, this confer
	ence looks to the past and a deep history of energy transitions (and addit
	ions) in order to better understand how to negotiate this switch. We will 
	convene scholars around the topics of “energy\,” “extraction\,” and “explo
	itation\,” in the period we are calling “long modernity” (16th–21st centur
	y). This conference brings together diverse disciplines to unpack the comp
	lex dynamics that accompany energy regime change as expressed by technolog
	ical development and represented in creative media that span the centuries
	 of long modernity and that connect the local to the global\, the past to 
	the present. We seek to understand how an energy transition might conserve
	\, rather than ravage\, the environment and species by understanding how e
	nergy infrastructures affect earth and its ecosystems.\n\nEvent Website: h
