This 10-week course examines how, where, and why energy resources are made and used and with what political, economic, and ecological implications. Students investigate the role of fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) in neoliberal capitalism and geopolitics, address multiple meanings of sustainability, and explore conflicting visions of sustainability regarding low-carbon futures. Students will research and write content for Wikipedia articles relating to energy and sustainability related topics, such as (but not limited to) energy justice, low-carbon futures, energy and geopolitics, energy production/distribution/consumption, etc. Students will select a topic of interest relating to course themes that address content gaps within relevant Wikipedia articles, create a robust annotated bibliography of reputable sources, then draft their revisions/contributions to existing Wikipedia articles. Students will work in small teams of 5 to peer review one another's work.
