Our speaker will be Jennifer N. Brass\, Ph.D.\, associate profes sor at the Paul H. O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University Bloomington. No registration required.\n\nAccess to el ectricity in Kenya has increased rapidly in the last decade. Just ten yea rs ago\, less than 50% of the population had access to electricity\; by 2 023\, nearly 80% of the population had access\, and the state has an ambi tious goal of increasing access to 100% by 2030\, using renewable energy sources.\n\nThe social and political outcomes of this rapid change are no t well understood. In particular\, it is unclear how increasing access to electricity affects political participation.\n\nIn most of the world\, c itizens with reliable power can choose how they engage with the state. El ectricity enables people to socialize independently and to make claims on authorities through communication technologies from the comfort of their homes. But in parts of the world where access to electricity is scarce y et expanding quickly\, what happens in the near term after people gain ac cess? As more people obtain electricity and enabling technologies such as smartphones\, can we observe measurable shifts in participation? Do thes e patterns vary based on levels of electricity or the quality of access?\ n\nIn this seminar\, Brass-a leading scholar of service\, provision\, gov ernance\, and state development in sub-Saharan Africa-will examine these questions using original survey and focus group discussion data from Keny a.\n\nBrass is the author of Allies or Adversaries? NGOs and the State in Africa (Cambridge University Press\; winner of the 2018 ARNOVA Outstandi ng Book Award)\, which explores how nongovernmental organizations influen ce state-society relations and development in Kenya. Her ongoing research investigates the politics and governance of renewable and small‑scale el ectricity provision across Africa\, making her particularly well‑position ed to speak to the intersection of energy access\, governance\, and citiz en participation.\n\nPart of the UPEP Environmental Institutions Seminar Series\, organized by the Nicholas Institute and the University Program i n Environmental Policy (UPEP)\, a doctoral degree program jointly offered by the Nicholas School of the Environment and Sanford School of Public P olicy at Duke University.

In this conversation \, Amy Beros\, President & CEO of the Food Bank of Central & Eastern Nort h Carolina\, will explore how public policy directly shapes the mission\, capacity\, and day-to-day realities of hunger relief organizations - and the lived experiences of people facing food insecurity.\n\nDrawing on fr ontline experience\, Amy will examine how legislation\, funding structure s\, and administrative implementation enable and constrain community resp onses to hunger - influencing everything from food sourcing and distribut ion to crisis response and long-term solutions. The discussion will highl ight how policy and funding gaps create challenges\, where alignment crea tes opportunity\, and why research and advocacy are more important than e ver for those supporting food security. Light refreshments will be served .
