Praeclariat: Theorising Precarious Labour Geographies of Solar Energy

What is it about?

The global solar industry depends upon an undervalued workforce that does dangerous tasks like mining resources that go into solar panels, converting landscapes to host the solar panels, and managing broken solar panels as electronic waste. The informal workers that do this work oppose their place in the global solar industry and engage in specific acts of resistance. By doing this, they form an awareness of their shared struggles and become empowered to try and change the exploitative situation they are in.
