EVENT POSTPONED: Aimee Ambrose : “Just home heating transitions: grand narratives versus personal realities”

The lecture held by Aimee Ambrose is postponed. New date coming soon!

Another season of History on the Edge begins on the 23rd of November!

You are kindly invited at 13h, at the Institute for Contemporary History (Privoz 11), for the lecture »Just home heating transitions: grand narratives versus personal realities«.

The lecture will be held by Aimee Ambrose, Professor of Energy Policy at the Centre for Regional Economic and Social Research (CRESR) at Sheffield Hallam University.

Domestic heating is a major source of carbon emissions and therefore a priority for decarbonisation through low carbon systems and digitalisation. Yet, home heating transitions are deeply personal and significantly reorganise the way people use energy, triggering deeper transformations of societies, economies and cultures and manifesting these changes at the heart of the home. Presently, every heating transition is treated as a fresh challenge and efforts to learn across time and place and from citizens are rare, meaning that progress may be lost and injustices deepened. Our approach involves historic, current, and future-oriented analysis to identify how home heating transitions and associated technological change over the last 70 years were designed, managed and experienced, the legacies of this and their implications for the current transition. We do this by combining progressive conceptualisations of justice, novel applications of oral history and the communicative power of the arts to support policy and practice to understand the justice implications of heating transitions. We will work with communities leading, resisting and excluded from transitions to assemble a lasting archive of multi-media accounts of lived experiences of heating transitions, illustrating how they impact unevenly yet profoundly on the conditions of life. These lived experiences will bridge policy discourse and life worlds, fostering a fairer future for home heating where the negative impacts of technological and digital innovation are understood and mitigated.
