Savannah Carr-Wilson, Duke University
Savannah Carr-Wilson is a third-year PhD candidate in the UPEP (Environmental Policy) program at Duke University. Her research interests include critical mineral mining in the context of energy transition, Indigenous rights, energy access, and renewable tech end-of-life management. Her dissertation research focuses on what governance strategies enable critical mineral mining to proceed in a just and sustainable way that earns community approval. She is examining various facets of this topic using qualitative and mixed methods, legal analysis, and systematic literature review. One of her chapters examines the impact of mine permitting reform in Canada and the US on Indigenous peoples and their rights. Prior to her PhD, she worked as a lawyer in the fields of environmental, Aboriginal, and Indigenous law in Canada. She has published articles in Energy Research & Social Science and Case Studies in the Environment and is the author of the book, Total Transition: The Human Side of the Renewable Energy Revolution.
