Ep 03 - Professor Abigail Harrison Moore (Part 2)

Continuing from the previous episode, Professor Abigail and Dr Roy discuss the nuanced relationship between art, culture, technology, and education. Professor Moore reflects on the transformative power of interdisciplinary studies and the importance of integrating personal experiences into academic pursuits. She advocates for an educational approach that encourages curiosity, experimentation, and resilience in the face of failure.

The conversation also explores the sociotechnical nature of energy, particularly the overlooked social aspects and the gendered history of energy in domestic spaces. Professor Moore's project, "Empowering Women: Co-producing Histories of Women and Energy in the Home," aims to uncover the untold stories of women's interactions with energy transitions and their implications for contemporary energy challenges. The discussion highlights the importance of creativity, critical thinking, and the ability to question the status quo as essential skills for future generations.
