DESCRIPTION:Students\, faculty and staff are invited to attend the next Ni
 cholas Institute and UPEP Environmental Institutions Seminar Series prese
 ntation. 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.
