This project examines an ethnographic study of how Albertans envision the future of energy and how these visions are influenced by daily social, economic, and cultural realities.
Through sustained engagement with diverse voices—including Indigenous and non-Indigenous workers, industry insiders, climate activists, and educators—this research asks how Albertans envision energy transitions. It specifically examines how factors like generational location, gender, reconciliation, and environmental responsibility inform these visions.

Overarching question: What is the role of a community archivist? How does this role differ from that of other archivists?
This research spans two semesters, involving students from a 3rd year ethnographic research methods and 4th year applied anthropology course. These projects will use institutional ethnographic methods to address these overarching questions.
Fall Semester Research Sub-Questions:
1. What personal objects, stories, or practices do community members consider worth preserving?
2. How do everyday "practices of preserving" compare to those of the City of Edmonton Archives?
