Drawing from insights in his book, "Profits and Power: Navigating the Politics and Geopolitics of Oil," Professor David Detomasi will discuss how more Canadian carbon-based energy will make Canada – and the world - richer, safer, more technologically advanced, and cleaner. He will also talk about how more Canadian carbon-based energy will aid in Indigenous reconciliation and make Canada better able to protect and extend abroad values we care about.

All are welcome – faculty, students, staff and community members! Refreshments will be available.

Dr. Detomasi is an associate professor of international business at the Smith School of Business, and is a Distinguished Faculty Fellow In International Business. He completed his PhD from the Department of Political Studies at Queen's University in 1999, specializing in international political economy. He also holds a Master of Arts in War Studies from the Royal Military College of Canada, a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) from Queen's University, and is a graduate of the Executive Program on the Global Financial System from the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University.
