Join us for a panel and discussion about the ways that film, photography and new media inform how industrial extraction and its environmental and social consequences are witnessed, documented, and memorialized. The panel includes presentations by:

Sharon Daniel (Film + Media, UC Santa Cruz) on her interactive documentary work-in-progress about social and environmental challenges in the isolated Inupiaq village of Kivalina, Alaska.

Mona Damluji (Film and Media Studies) on the cultural infrastructure of corporate media sponsorship and oil extraction in Iraq.

Emily Roehl (Global Studies) on American landscape photography of extractive sites from upstream to down in the material life of oil.

Panel Discussant: Melody Jue (English)

This panel is part of a year-long program of events organized as part of Mellon Sawyer Seminar on Energy Justice in Global Perspective. For more information see: http://www.global.ucsb.edu/energyjustice/
