Jessica Lottman-Craigg

My research explores trajectories of energy transition and energy equity in Atlanta, Georgia. Drawing from political ecology, energy geography, and development studies and using archival and ethnographic methods, I ask how electrification reinforced and produced social inequities in the city, and how it could instead be utilized toward emancipatory ends. I was raised in Georgia and am passionate about co-producing research alongside groups working toward social and climate justice in the state. Outside of research, I’m usually gaming, hiking, thrifting, or hanging out with my cat.
