UNRULY
Synopsis:
The project focuses on renewable energy projects and how they reshape people’s relationships with their lands, each other and the state. Hydropower energy projects are a crucial part of society’s efforts to both adapt to and prevent (mitigate) climate change, but clean power plants alone are insufficient to ensure just, sustainable transformation. The energy sector is influenced by geopolitics, injustices, environmental changes, and development efforts, making research on socio-material change essential. The project aims to develop a new analytical framework and methodologies that integrate social and material aspects to better understand change and address justice issues. The overall research question is, how do unruly dynamics shape energy frontiers?
