The participants would like to thank Jeremy Douglass from the Digital Arts and Humanities Commons and Laila Shereen Sakr and Alenda Chang from Wireframe Studios at UCSB for generously hosting the Mellon Sawyer Seminar's "Beyond the Spill" opening reception and exhibition, where the Field Guide was first presented to the public.
The Mellon Sawyer Seminar was convened by five faculty members at UCSB: Javiera Barandiarán (Global Studies), Mona Damluji (Film and Media Studies), Stephan Miescher (History), David Pellow (Environmental Studies), and Janet Walker (Film and Media Studies).
The Mellon Sawyer Seminar is a collaborative effort to develop critical and creative research practices in energy justice by building on emergent work in the humanities and interpretive social sciences. At the heart of this project is conviction that movements, practices and debates among Indigenous communities worldwide and societies of the Global South are central and not auxiliary to understanding humanity’s deep embroilment with carbon-based energy.
