Expertise Details: Energy Politics and Policy; The Anthropocene; Event Ethnography; Cultures of Expertise; Arctic Late Industrialism

ORCID

ResearcherID: I-3946-2014

 

I hold positions as Visiting Fellow at London School of Economics; Research Affiliate at University of St Andrews; and Research Associate at University of Calgary.

My fall semester course on the Anthropocene examines historical developments that break with twentieth century’s preoccupation with modernity and development. During spring semesters, my course on Global Inequality traces historical continuities and the effects of neoliberal structural adjustment programs.  

 

 

Books

Consulting Energy: From Judgment to Decision-Making (fall 2025)

Energy Capitol: The Waning of Regulatory Form

Arctic Abstractive Industry: Assembling the Valuable and Vulnerable North

Subterranean Estates: Life Worlds of Oil and Gas

Currently, I am completing a manuscript titled Energy Images: Hydrocarbon Aesthetics of Progress and Form (Routledge 2026) which explores energy visuals as aesthetic abstractions that mediate between ignorance and knowledge in complex ways, at times propagandizing but at other times capturing, assembling, and performing the complexity of the energy system form.
