M’colleague, @rebkwright, has written for @washingtonpost in response to the terrible fire in the Bronx about how ‘New York’s unique heating infrastructure has raised questions of political power and racial and economic justice since the late 19th century.’
Rebecca Wright@rebkwright

Access to heat has long been political. I have tried to provide some historical context on the tragic fire in the Bronx in this article. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2022/0…

@ruuskanenep @awatson8381 @NiCHE_Canada As Elsa mentioned, I have just finished a book on energy and it’s role in American intellectual history. So, if this fits, would be really interested in joining the panel.

This feels like my first publication, or rather: the first still of a work-in-progress. I'm a slow writer and too nervous to read it again, but there's parts that I remember and that I still like and I hope you do too. dx.doi.org/10.1017/S17400…
