The Generator Project is a multi-sited, multi-campus, and multi-disciplinary seminar on energy justice, culminating in a field school experience. It is a response to the ongoing challenges regarding energy generation and distribution, including the creation of sustainable, resilient, and equitable systems. Energy infrastructures and policies embody the political and cultural values of the societies that create them. The imperialist and capitalist legacies of these systems make it difficult – but not impossible – to collectively make these systems more generative, rather than extractive. Materially, energy systems can generate new vulnerabilities such as the Ukrainian energy infrastructures currently under attack. They are also deeply cultural projects, such as the Navajo Nation’s transition from coal to solar energy as a reflection of tribal sovereignty. Energy transitions also embody massive shifts in labor, migration, and ownership, which are informed by intersectional concerns related to class, gender, religion, ethnicity, and nationalism.
