The Clark Center for the Study of Natural Resource Extraction and Society

The Center was established to do research on extractive industries, infrastructure investment, energy, and agroindustry and will serve as a space for this research community to grow. Initially bridging the Graduate School of Geography, Department of Sustainability and Social Justice (formerly IDCE), George Perkins Marsh Institute and the new Earth conversation. The Center will also work to engage other departments and teaching programs at Clark and elsewhere.
