Discussion: Energy History of PEI

Event Date:
Friday, February 15, 2019, 4:00 pm
Location:
W.A. Murphy Student Centre
Room:
Fox and Crow
This winter we will be reading and discussing "Time and a Place: An Environmental History of Prince Edward Island" (2016). Our discussions will probe into past and present environmental changes on PEI, and how and why the Islanders are particularly sensitive to environmental issues and enmeshed in their landscape in a way that is unique among Canadians. During our second discussion, we will talk about energy transitions in PEI history and will focus on the chapter by Kathleen Stuart: “Two centuries of energy on Prince Edward Island.” Those interested in more information about the province’s energy policies in the 1973-1990 period can also read the book by Alan MacEachern "The Institute of Man and Resources: An Environmental Fable" (2003). We are thrilled that the authors and editors of these books, Ms. Kathleen Stuart, Dr. Alan MacEachern, and Dr. Josh MacFadyen, will join our discussion.  Date and time: February 15, 2019 at 4pm Place: The Fox & Crow, W.A. Murphy Student Centre, UPEI campus. All are welcome! "Time and a Place: An Environmental History of Prince Edward Island" and "The Institute of Man and Resources: An Environmental Fable" are available at the UPEI library. The former is available as an e-book at https://library.upei.ca/ and the first chapter of the latter book is available on library reserves as a digital file.  If have any questions/suggestions, please feel free to contact Dr. Nino Antadze at nantadze@upei.ca
