About the Workshop:
This workshop examines the connections between gender and social inequalities in energy production, distribution, and use, based on their representation in literature. This workshop is the second workshop organized as part of the DFG-funded research network “Energy and Literature: texts, theories and methods from a comparative and cultural studies perspective.”
