Laura Castro-Diaz, Assistant Professor with the School for the Environment at the University of Massachusetts Boston presents a talk titled "Participatory Research in Energy Justice" as part of the Irving Institute New Energy Series. About the talk This presentation examines the vital role of participatory research in promoting energy justice, asserting that participatory research frameworks and methods are crucial for closing the gap between theory and practice in tackling energy inequities. I showcase a case study from the Brazilian Amazon to demonstrate how participatory research reveals energy injustices and effectively addresses specific energy challenges. I will outline the key principles of participatory research in energy justice. About the presenter Laura Castro-Diaz is an assistant professor at the School for the Environment at UMass Boston. I conduct community-based research to address environmental injustices (Food, water, and energy). I employ diverse collaborative and community-based frameworks and methods to examine the implications and responses to water and energy injustices at different scales, from the individual to the global scale.
