Offer Description

UNRULY is dedicated to understanding uncertainty related to hydropower projects in the face of climate change. The project explores how entangled social, political, and environmental processes shape change. We are especially interested in the non-linear processes of change which are not factored into existing models such that efforts to manage the future create more uncertainty. At present, existing research methods have not kept pace with social science theoretical developments which reject a conceptual separation of social from environmental and material processes. UNRULY is an ambitious, anti-colonial project that seeks to creatively challenge existing research conventions and reimagine novel approaches to our shared planetary crisis.

The project builds from theoretical advances in geography, science and technology studies (STS), feminist theory, socio-environmental systems, and cognate disciplines on reframing ontologies of 'environment' and 'society'. The project seeks to advance methodological approaches that take these conceptual insights seriously. Methodologically, the project will experiment with acoustic methods, embodied methods, story-telling, and stochastic mathematics to think through how uncertainty shapes energy justice concerns and outcomes of renewable energy projects, working on the ground in Nepal and Sub-Saharan Africa to co-create new insights with local people.
