Clinton Westman | Welcome & Research Presentation | In the Land of Giants? Climate, Infrastructure, and Politics in Canada’s Oil Sands
Join us for a special Welcome and Research Presentation with 2025-26 UW Fulbright Canada Special Foundation Fellow, Clinton Westman. Coffee and pastries will be provided.
Canada’s energy industry, like many other sectors in the country’s economy, is at a strategic inflection point, which has implications for trade, national unity, and Indigenous rights. In recent decades, mainly owing to the growth of oil sands/tar sands (bitumen) extraction in northern Alberta, Canada has moved to near the front of the global pack as an oil-exporting nation. In 2024, Canada exported, on average, a record 4.2 million barrels of oil per day. Much of this product has been exported to and/or processed in the US, with Canada now providing over half of US oil imports. Canada has also expanded pipeline capacity to the Pacific Coast to access Asia-Pacific markets. Given price discounts and current uncertainties of trade with the US, there is currently a push to build another coastal pipeline and to reduce perceived impediments to…

The University of Washington is a member of AASHE and all members of the UW community can access AASHE resources by signing up with your uw.edu email address. Register here
Young people are not only the primary constituents of colleges and universities—they are also the generation that will inherit the pressing sustainability and social justice challenges of our time. But what do today’s youth actually want? How do they perceive these issues? And what do they believe it will take to create meaningful progress?
This webinar explores answers to those questions through findings from two national polls conducted by Sacred Heart University (SHU) in 2024 and 2025. These surveys give voice to U.S. youth (ages 15–29) and reveal how their perspectives are already shaping SHU’s curriculum—such as the First-Year Writing Seminar—and informing the development of the new Institute for Sustainability and Social Justice (ISSJ). Participants will be invited to consider how these insights might be applied across their own…
