Inhaltsangabe

It all started in Nigeria… I was born in Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria. I lived in Nigeria for twenty-seven years before I moved to Canada for my master’s program that turned into a PhD program. I am a theatre practitioner-researcher, an actor cum director/ facilitator. I am also a theatre manager who started his own theatre company in Nigeria, Theatre Emissary International. I am a community organizer who is interested in using the power of the arts to engender education, development and social transformation. I left my parents’ house very early in life – at age sixteen – because I have always loved adventure. The journey of self-discovery took me to study in Jos, the northcentral part of Nigeria where I spent six years. During those years, I experienced displacement of all sorts due to the Jos crises that lasted over eight years and still counting. We encountered physical, emotional and psychological displacements at different point in time during the crisis. As an artist and a theatre practitioner, I have developed, managed and led projects through my theatre organization. The community projects, engagements and research I have been involved in locally, nationally and internationally have been collaborative. I ensured that communities were invested in the issues, from the planning to the execution phase. I facilitated collaborations, partnered with communities, agencies and other stakeholders. Participation was important and through diverse cultural art forms – dance, drama, script, art-making, et cetera. I designed my research, collected people’s stories (data) and developed them into stage performances or any other art forms as the case may be.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Professor Ferguson, for your Energy Policy course, I propose "Pipelines: Industry's Lifeline." This book examines the vital role pipelines play in transporting resources like oil and gas, acting as the backbone for many industries. We'll delve into the intricate link between pipelines, energy security, and the global economy, exploring the various types of pipelines and their cost-effective nature. However, "Pipelines: Industry's Lifeline" acknowledges the complexities of this infrastructure. We'll analyze the environmental impact of construction, leaks, and spills, alongside the geopolitical considerations and potential disruptions when pipelines cross international borders. Recognizing the evolving energy landscape, the book explores the debate surrounding pipelines, including the rise of alternative energy sources and their impact on pipeline dependence. We'll also examine safety regulations and emerging technologies that aim to minimize environmental risks. This book offers a comprehensive look at pipelines, their role in industry, and the considerations for a sustainable energy future.
