RC02 2019 Q3 Secretary's Letter

Originally published: 2019 Q3 RC02 Newsletter

Dear RC02 Economy and Society Members,

In the 2019 Q3 RC02 Newsletter we have a letter from the RC02 President Aaron Pitluck and an interview with a senior scholar. The interview, “A Conversation with Arnaud Sales,” is our inaugural interview with a senior scholar in the field and includes the interesting details surrounding the founding of RC02. We have also included an article written by William Carroll, “Mapping the Power of Fossil Fuels,” originally published at Work In Progress.

You can also find the Call for Abstracts for all RC02 sessions for the IV ISA Forum of Sociology (14-18 July 2020). The deadline for all abstracts is 30 September 2019.

If you would like to contribute an essay for the next Q4 2019 Newsletter about your research, a book review, or commentary on recent events of interest to RC02 members, please contact me at dstoltz@nd.edu. Essays should be 500-2000 words. Please also send suggestions for senior scholars to interview for the next newsletter.

All the best,
Dustin Stoltz
RC02 Secretary and Newsletter Editor
University of Notre Dame
