Timothy Mitchell is a political science Professor at the Department
of Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies at Columbia
University. His areas of interest include colonialism, political
economy, the politics of energy, and the making of expert
knowledge. Much of his work blends the study of the built world,
technical devices, ecological processes, and the history of
economic and political concepts. In this episode, we will talk to
Mitchell about his book “Carbon Democracy: Political Power in the
Age of Oil,” which came out over 10 years ago.
