Jessica Lottman-Craigg

My research focuses on the social, spatial, and climate implications of energy transition in the Atlanta area. I draw on political ecology, energy geography, and political economy of development and utilize archival and ethnographic methods to examine how the history of electrification and segregation in Atlanta is shaping its present and future. I was raised in Georgia and am passionate about co-producing research alongside organizations working toward racial, gender, and climate equity in the state. Outside of research, I’m usually gaming, hiking, thrifting, or hanging out with pets!
