Critical Petro-Theology and Extraction with Terra Schwerin Rowe

In this episode, Gabby and George talk with  Dr. Terra Schwerin Rowe, an Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy and Religion at the University of North Texas. Dr. Rowe is a leading voice in the emerging fields of energy humanities and critical petro-theology, where she explores the cultural, spiritual, and ethical dimensions of energy systems—both past and present. Her groundbreaking work challenges us to see the deep connections between religion, extraction, and justice. Her most recent book, Of Modern Extraction: Experiments in Critical Petro-Theology, is already reshaping conversations about how energy systems intersect with theology, ecology, and solidarity.
