Melissa Ragain on Petrocultures 2024
Ubiquity and concealment were twin themes of the gathering, which brought together researchersâmany of whom are also activistsâfrom across the humanities, arts, and social sciences to examine the role of fossil fuels in contemporary culture. The conference is the flagship event of the Petrocultures research group at the University of Alberta in Canada, founded in 2011 by Imre Szeman and Sheena Wilson.
