T

he project on the global history of energy, which began in April 2011, is based at the Joint Center for History and Economics and the MIT Research Group on History, Energy, and Environment. The project explores how the historical study of energy use and transformation can widen perspectives of economic, social, and environmental processes in the past. It also serves as a forum for the historical discussion of energy in all its forms.

 

The Energy History Project is supported by a Large-Scale Seed Grant from the Harvard Center for the Environment. Participants include Alison Frank (Harvard), Richard Hornbeck (Harvard), Ian Miller (Harvard), Sunil Amrith (Birkbeck/ Centre for History and Economics), Harriet Ritvo (MIT), Emma Rothschild (Harvard) and Paul Warde (UEA/Centre for History and Economics).
