Dr. Sabrina Perić, Co-Director
Anthropology and Archaeology, UCalgary
Sabrina Perić (she/her) is an Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology and Archaeology at the University of Calgary. She grew up in Rijeka, Croatia, a deep water tanker port city that is home to a pipeline terminus, an oil refinery and a floating LNG terminal. She has always therefore been interested in the way that societies and their politics are shaped by resource industries. Her current research focuses on understanding the role that individuals and communities play in determining energy transition possibilities, particularly through the Alberta Energy Stories Project. As the co-director of the CFI-funded Energy Stories Lab at UCalgary, she favours a community-based and collaborative approach to energy research that brings together both anthropological as well as visual participatory methods. She is also the author of the Prairie Energies Substack.
