Le CELAT UQAM vous invite à un midi-causerie avec Melissa Baird, Ph D., assistant professor au département d'anthropologie de la Michigan Technological University, ayant pour titre :

Extracting Heritage. Heritage Engagements in Energy Landscapes

 Le jeudi 25 avril, à 12h45, au DC-2300.

Résumé : In the last decade, extractive and energy development has accelerated. From proposed oil and gas projects near Chaco Canyon in New Mexico, to the construction of roads, ports, and pipelines throughout Western Australia, industrial development projects have had wide ranging environmental, economic, and sociocultural impacts. In this talk, Dr. Baird will discuss how in extractive contexts, heritage is not so much marginal to negotiations as it is central to it. As she aims to show, with energy production increasing and new mega-projects coming online, it is essential that scholars think through the specific ways that extractive industries are entangled with heritage policy and practices.
