# Brine to Batteries: The Extractive Frontiers of the Global Energy Transition #### calendar\_today Date and Time **April 14, 2021** 12:00PM - 12:00PM EDT #### pin\_drop Location **Zoom** [ Register arrow\_circle\_right ](https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_jSErWRvJS7GginQ26C4Vqg) As part of the Radcliffe Fellows' Presentation Series, **Thea Riofrancoslon** will present "Brine to Batteries: The Extractive Frontiers of the Global Energy Transition." As part of the Radcliffe Fellows' Presentation Series, **Thea Riofrancoslon** will present "Brine to Batteries: The Extractive Frontiers of the Global Energy Transition." Thea Riofrancos’s current project, “Brine to Batteries: The Extractive Frontiers of the Global Energy Transition,” explores the politics of the transition to renewable energy through the lens of one of its key technologies: lithium batteries. Based on multisited fieldwork following lithium’s global supply chains from the point of extraction in the Chilean desert, “Brine to Batteries” will be the first scholarly account of the rapidly moving processes shaping the contours of the next energy system—and those of our planetary future.
