Dominic Boyer directs the Social Design Lab at Rice University where he also serves on the Board of Governors of the Rice Sustainability Institute. As one of the founders of the field of Energy Humanities, he has been writing on energy politics and energy transition for many years. As a designer, he helped create the world’s first glacier memorial, which was named a Finalist for a 2020 Beazley Design of the Year Award by the London Design Museum. The same project inspired The Economist to create its first-ever obituary for a non-human. The author of nine books and volumes and more than 100 research articles, Boyer’s latest book is No More Fossils (U Minnesota Press, 2023), an analysis of the fossil gerontocracy that seeks to hold us in its ecocidal grasp and the coming transition from petroculture to electroculture. He is a 2025 Guggenheim Fellow.
