2 | Fossil Fuel Entanglements with the Stanford University Doerr School of "Sustainability" (Version 1.0) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3 | This table reports engagements between fossil fuel interests and Stanford University activities that, to the best of our knowledge, will be folded into the new Stanford University Doerr School of Sustainability, or were previously part of institutions slated to become part of the new school. We refer to such activities as "fossil fuel entanglements," given their potential to influence the way that Stanford researchers and students engage with sustainability research, discourse, and practice, as well as the way in which the broader public views fossil fuel companies. This table focuses on engagements between fossil fuel interests and Stanford *institutions*. For information on engagements involving individual Stanford researchers, please see Fossil Free Stanford's "Data" webpage (https://www.gofossilfreestanford.org/data). This table is a work-in-progress, which Fossil Free Stanford intends to periodically update. If you have information on engagements between fossil fuel interests and Stanford University activities broadly focused on sustainability matters OR believe information presented here is factually incorrect, please send an email to fossilfreestanford@gmail.com. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
