Angela V. Carter has researched environmental politics in Canada’s major oil producing provinces: Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Newfoundland and Labrador. Her new book, Fossilized, examines how these jurisdictions undermined environmental policies while boosting extreme oil extraction. Angela is now extending this research via an international comparative project on supply-side climate policy, focused on identifying political-economic and cultural conditions fostering “keep it in the ground” legislation.
