BOOK LAUNCH: We Were In It: Stories About Energy Transition
March 7 @ 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm
Please join us for the launch of We Were In
It: Stories About Energy Transition ,
one of the projects in the Flux Kit led by
Lisa Moore and Sheena Wilson. Bringing together
academics, scientists, creative writers, visual
artists, lawyers, and policy makers, We Were In
It is a collaborative effort to attack the problem
of climate crisis from very different backgrounds
and perspectives. The fusion of scholarship,
literary writing, research, and creativity allows
the strengths of many forms of writing to address
the unfolding crisis of our modern petrocultures.
Relying on the brevity of flash fiction to reflect
the ticking clock of the climate crisis, the stories
contained in this collection are slick as oil but
against oil. They are a speculation about the
future, taking notes from the present and the past
as a portal to a better world.
