2009 Mass History Conference

With Power for All: Energy & Social Change in Massachusetts

With Power for All: Energy & Social Change in Massachusetts with Cathy Stanton, Anthropology Department, Tufts University
College of the Holy Cross, Worcester

The decision to focus this year’s conference on energy and social change was prompted by the larger attention that the Commonwealth and nation are now giving to this important subject. As communities large and small contemplate biofuels, solar and wind energy, and a host of alternatives for the future, it is an appropriate moment to reflect on wind and water power, something else, and the many ways people and places secured energy in the past.
