Corrie Grosse (Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies at College of Saint Benedict & Saint John’s University: CSBSJU) discusses her recent book, Working Across Lines: Resisting Extreme Energy Extraction (July 2022, University of California Press). This work investigates how people build effective energy justice coalitions across differences in political views, race and ethnicity, age, and strategic preferences. Grosse argues for four practices that are critical for movement building: focusing on core values of justice, accountability, and integrity; identifying the roots of injustice; cultivating relationships among activists; and welcoming difference. The book provides important models for bridging divides to reach common goals — lessons that are more relevant than ever in our polarized world! More info on the author's website here.
