Episode Synopsis
Lamisa Chowdhury, University of Kansas grad and current Patagonia Program Officer, has dedicated the early years of her career to investigating energy justice. Lamisa walks us through her path to the energy transition, including why the built environment stands out to her, and why storytelling has become influential to her own understanding of energy systems. Lamisa's roles have been across nonprofits, utilities, and now the private sector. Each of these experiences shaped Lamisa's goals for the energy transition, and helped her understand all of its interwoven dimensions. She walks the audience through the importance of equity within the transition, and what students can do to equip themselves to tackle this challenge. She reminds us that humans, people, are at the center of all energy systems. Keynotes: - The importance of community-focused energy work - How different experiences shape our personal understanding of the energy transition - The gaps in current energy system structures
