SUMMARY:CANCELLED:  Energy Insecurity: The People’s Struggle for Power at
  Home
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Diana Hernandez\, Associate Professor of Public Health
 \, Columbia University\n\n\n\nJoin Diana Hernández for a timely conversat
 ion at the intersection of climate change\, energy justice\, and public he
 alth. Drawing on insights from her new book Powerless: The People’s Stru
 ggle for Energy (Russell Sage\, 2025)\, Hernández will reveal how everyda
 y households—especially in low-income\, historically marginalized commun
 ities—are navigating the compounding pressures of rising energy costs\, 
 inadequate housing\, and extreme weather. Hernández's research centers th
 e voices and experiences of those on the frontlines: households enduring u
 naffordable bills\, unreliable utilities\, and dangerous heat with limited
  protection. This Weston Roundtable lecture at University of Wisconsin Mad
 ison will unpack how energy insecurity is both a cause and consequence of 
 structural inequities and how the fight for energy justice is inseparable 
 from broader struggles for health\, housing\, and climate resilience. Thro
 ugh compelling storytelling\, original research\, and a call to action\, H
 ernández will invite the audience to rethink power—both electrical and 
 political—as we confront rising temperatures and deepening inequality an
 d to reimagine what it means to build a just energy future\, starting not 
 with technology\, but with those most affected- the people.\n\nCo-hosted w
