<div style="line-height:1.38;margin:0pt 0px;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><font face="arial, sans-serif">Webinar Description: <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34)">In this talk, Jordan B. Kinder introduces his recently published book, Petroturfing: Refining Canadian Oil through
Social Media (University of Minnesota Press). Petroturfing tells the story of how the Canadian pro-oil movement took shape through social media and ignited what Kinder calls the oil culture wars—wars waged from positions founded on either dirty or ethical
oil imaginaries. The book takes media produced and circulated on platforms such as Facebook, Twitter (now X), and YouTube as its objects of study to investigate how the Canadian pro-oil movement hopes to undermine resistance to the fossil fuel industry and
delay energy transition by symbolically refining Canadian oil as a progressive and, indeed, decolonial force. Offering a closer look at the kinds of analysis the book develops in relation to the pro-oil movement’s environmental imagination, the talk highlights
how the pro-oil movement culturally mitigates the impacts of extraction through aesthetic means and ends that reproduces settler colonial relations.</span></font></div>
