Vassar is responding to the existential crises of climate change and the destruction of nature by pursuing energy decarbonization, reducing the negative impacts of College operations, and preparing our students with the insight, skills, and confidence they need to lead the way to a sustainable and just future.

Upcoming Events

Photo portrait of Ryan Jobson.

Ryan Jobson, Neubauer Family Assistant Professor of Anthropology at The University of Chicago, examines how the rise and fall of the oil industry impacts post-colonial nationalist visions of the future in Trinidad and Tobago. Jobson asks us to consider if there can be a viable political and economic future for Trinidad and Tobago without oil, a question that should be relevant to us all living in a fossil fuel based global economy.
