Graduate Student Colloquium Series
- October 30 , 2009 - 4:00 PM - Hale Science Building, Room 230
Dr. Jessica Smith, "The Cowboy Spirit of the Clean Coal Campaign". In response to criticisms of the
industry's labor and environmental practices, a coalition of corporations has launched prominent
campaigns to persuade the public of its commitment to responsibility and continued salience for
national energy policies. In this talk, Smith traces how re-branding coal as clean is vital to the
campaigns and rests on portraying the fuel and the people who mine it as distinctly western. This is
a free public lecture.
