by Dudley Intellectual / Cultural Fellows

Dear all, Drop by the Dudley House main office on the third floor of Dudley House to grab your (free!) tickets for our first Senior Common Room Dinner of 2019. The dinner will feature a talk by Dr. Abby Spinak, Professor of Urban Planning and Design at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. As usual, there will be a 5:30 pm reception in the Graduate Student Lounge (second floor of Dudley House) and a 6 pm dinner, talk and discussion in the Dudley House Common Room. Abby Spinak studies community-owned energy in the 1930s, a period of economic upheaval that sparked vibrant policy experimentation in the United States, including federal financing for "electric cooperatives" and other adventures in democratic resource management. Placing recent calls for a "Green New Deal" in historical context, Dr. Spinak will talk about some of the political struggles in the first New Deal around economic growth, civic responsibility, and the public good. She will discuss why energy transitions have long been seen as a force of economic and democratic equity and invite discussion on how to make energy policy work towards greater social justice in practice.
