The Environmental Humanities Initiative presents a book launch.
“Atomic Dreams.”
Rebecca Tuhus-Dubrow, Southern California journalist whose writing has appeared in print or online in the New Yorker, the New York Review of Books, The Nation, the Washington Post, the Times Literary Supplement, and The Guardian, among other publications.
Her new book, “Atomic Dreams: The New Nuclear Evangelists and the Fight for the Future of Energy,” published in April by Algonquin Books, is an inside look at the decades-long fight over the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant and the debate over nuclear power’s place in the battle against climate change.
Rebecca Tuhus-Dubrow is the author of Personal Stereo, which was named one of Pitchfork’s favorite music books of 2017, and The G Ring, a Kindle single.
She was previously a contributing writer for the Boston Globe’s Ideas section and a contributing editor at Dissent. Her work has received support from the Robert B. Silvers Foundation, the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, and UC Irvine’s Newkirk Center for Science and Society.
At this event, she will be in conversation with Paul Sabin, the Randolph W. Townsend, Jr. Professor of History and Professor of American Studies and Faculty Director for Environmental Humanities at Yale. Light lunch will be served.
