In this presentation, energy expert Dr. Stephens discussed her recently published book,&nbsp;<em>Diversifying Power.<\/em>&nbsp;In it, Dr. Stephens argues that the key to effectively addressing the climate crisis is diversifying leadership so that antiracist, feminist priorities are central. Stephens examines climate and energy leadership related to job creation and economic justice, health and nutrition, and housing and transportation. She explains why we need to reclaim and restructure climate and energy systems so policies are explicitly linked to social, economic, and racial justices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Diversifying Power<\/em>&nbsp;shows that anyone working on issues related to energy or climate (directly or indirectly) can leverage the power of collective action. The work to shift away from an extractive, oppressive energy system has already begun. By highlighting the creative individuals and organizations making change happen,&nbsp;<em>Diversifying Power<\/em>&nbsp;provides inspiration and encourages action on climate and energy justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More details and a recording of the presentation can be found below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"cu-section cu-section--white w-screen ml-offset-center px-4 md:px-6 lg:px-12\"><div class=\"cu-max-w-child-5xl space-y-6 md:space-y-10   cu-prose-first-last\"><figure class=\"cu-figure not-prose  max-w-full\"><div class=\"not-prose overflow-hidden bg-white shadow-lg max-w-full rounded-none\"><div class=\"relative none overflow-hidden w-full pb-[56.25%] border border-cu-black-100\"><iframe title=\"Videos Embed\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/p3MrU3ANyOE\" class=\"cu-embed-iframe\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cserc\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0629-scaled-1-240x288.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2881\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0<strong>Dr. Jennie C Stephens<\/strong> is the Director of the School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs at Northeastern University, where she is also the Dean\u2019s Professor of Sustainability Science Policy, Director of Strategic Research Collaborations at the Global Resilience Institute, and a member of the Executive Committee of Northeastern\u2019s Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cserc\/cu_event\/diversifying-power-why-we-need-antiracist-feminist-leadership-on-climate-and-energy\/\">View Event Page.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about the <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sustainable-energy\/\">Sustainable Energy graduate program.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On February 8th, 2021, the Sustainable Energy graduate program hosted Dr. Jennie Stephens, Director of the School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs at Northeastern University.
