Calling for a renewed commitment to environmental and energy justice, Dr. Tony Reames will deliver remarks at the Howard H. Baker Jr. Center for Public Policy in an event co-hosted with the Center for the Study of Social Justice, Center for Ultra-Wide-Area Resilient Electrical Energy Transmission Networks (CURENT) and Tickle College of Engineering.

Reames is the deputy director for energy justice at the U.S. Department of Energy, where he leads the department's new Office of Energy Justice Policy and Analysis in the Office of Economic Impact and Diversity.

The event will be held on Monday, October 3 from 1:00-2:30 pm, in the Toyota Auditorium. This event is free and open to the public. 

Previously, Reames established the Urban Energy Justice Lab and the Energy Equity Project at the University of Michigan. Both focus on research and solutions to the production and persistence of racial, income and geographic energy-related disparities.   

Guests may park in the Vol Hall Garage on White Avenue at no charge by requesting a parking voucher from the staff at the event. Access the live webcast for the event here.
