Dr. Jennifer Baka
Co-Principle Investigator
Jennifer Baka is an energy geographer that studies how material, political and environmental processes interconnect and with what effects in the context of energy development. I work on unconventional and renewable energy systems in both domestic and international contexts. The main theoretical lens I employ in my research is political-industrial ecology, an emerging sub-field of geography that aims to embed resources flows within their broader historic, economic and political contexts. An overarching goal of my research, teaching and service is to develop strategies for reducing environmental inequities in energy systems.
