On Friday, January 31, the Department of Public Affairs and
Sociology will host its first brown bag lecture of the new year. Dr. Robert
Forbis from Texas Tech University will be presenting a talk titled: “Hydraulic Fracturing
and Beyond!: The Inverse Relationship Between Energy Development and
Environmental Protection.”
The lecture will be held from 11:15am – 1:00pm in the Irving Hoch Seminar Room in Green Hall (GR 3.606).
Dr. Forbis is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at
Texas Tech who received his Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of
Utah. His research focuses on the policy nexus of environmental protection and
energy development, and his lecture will address the political
conflicts triggered by the rise of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.
