DESCRIPTION:An informal teatime discussion organised by the Winton Program
 me and Energy@Cambridge hosted by Kathleen Araujo\, Stony Brook University
 .\n\nAbstract:\nToo often\, discussion about the potential to change energ
 y pathways centers on long timescales and the least-cost economics of near
 -term policy alternatives. While both aspects matter\, they don’t fully 
 reflect what can drive such change. This presentation examines the way in 
 which France shifted to nuclear energy\, with an emphasis on technology le
 arning\, policy change\, and public engagement. Discussion will highlight 
 how deeply entrenched incumbents require versatility in rapidly changing e
 nergy playing fields. \n\nBiography:\nDr. Kathleen Araújo is an assistant
  professor at Stony Brook University\, and researcher at Brookhaven Nation
 al Laboratory. She specializes in advanced energy pathways in the context 
 of sociotechnical systems change\, resilience and critical infrastructure.
  Dr. Araújo consults for inter-governmental organizations and has a forth
 coming book\, entitled Low Carbon Energy Transitions: Turning Points in Na
 tional Policy and Innovation with Oxford University Press. She earned her 
 Ph.D. at MIT\, completing post-doctoral research at the Harvard Kennedy Sc
 hool in science\, technology\, and public policy.\n\n
