Published on June 4, 2020
What would you do if the cause that lights your day turned out to be trapping fellow citizens in the dark? For Shalanda Baker, a professor of law and public policy at Northeastern University, thinking about a clean energy future means thinking about the daily, weekly and sometimes invisible ways that people in deprived communities can control their power supply. Her work- in blogs, scholarship and a forthcoming book- reminds professionals that deals made on the backs of oppressed people are no deals at all.
