Recently I have completed a doctorate in Rhetoric and Technical Communication with focus on communication challenges involved in changing perception and use of energy in the residential built environment. My Western case study revolved around the work my late husband, an architect, and I did based in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula in creating energy efficient houses for high latitude conditions. My Eastern case study focused on the work of Master Architect Laurie Baker and the Centre of Science and Technology for Rural Development in Kerala. Currently, I’m serving as a Volunteer Communications Consultant with COSTFORD and have commissioned a prototypical energy efficient house in tandem with my Indian “family of friends.” I’m also active with the “Women in Energy” programme sponsored by USAID and SARI/Energy. I continue to present and publish in both the West and East on matters pertaining to transforming our relationship to energy.
