October 7, 2016 @ 12:45 pm - 2:05 pm
Matthew Huber, Associate Professor of Geography, Syracuse University. Title: “A Critique of Market-based Climate Policy.”
Matt Huber will be discussing his book, “Lifeblood: Oil, Freedom, and the Forces of Capital,” which was published in 2013 (University of Minnesota Press). This work, stemming from his dissertation research at Clark University, explores a deeper and more complex explanation for our ‘oil addiction’ that extends beyond the usual culprits.
Huber is an associate professor in the geography department at Syracuse University and his teaching and research interests are in political economy, energy and capitalism, resource governance and social theory. In addition to his book, he has published several book chapters and journal articles. His research on the nitrogen fertilizer industry was recently funded by the National Science Foundation.
