UH Hosts Energy History Workshop in November 2007
Posted: May 4, 2007
The Center for Public History at the University of Houston will host the second in a series of energy/environmental history workshops on November 9-10, 2007.
"American Energy Policy in the 1970s" seeks to provide a historical context to American energy policy. Through a focus on the 1970s it hopes to use a time of change to understand how this decade served to transform energy policy and the role it played in changing the energy industry, the politics of energy, foreign policy, and environmentalism.
Please visit the conference website http://class.uh.edu/hist/energy2007/default.asp for information concerning the call for papers, conference program, speakers and registration. The keynote speaker will be Richard H.K. Vietor (Harvard University), the Senator John Heinz Professor of the Environment at the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration and the author of multiple books on energy policy, the regulation of business, and the international political economy.
The Center’s first energy/environmental history conference explored the environmental history of Houston. The results of that conference are being published in Energy Metropolis: An Environmental History of Houston and the Gulf Coast (forthcoming Summer 2007, University of Pittsburgh Press).
