Richard Newell on the Myth of Energy Independence
Even though the United States could possibly become the world's largest oil producer by 2020, America would still not be "energy independent." U.S. energy production would continue to be tied to global markets and climate concerns, according to professor Richard Newell, director of Duke's Energy Initiative. In a live "Office Hours" webcast interview at noon on Feb. 22, he will discuss advances and limits in American energy production.

Bruce Hall on the Battle for Timbuktu
The fabled city of Timbuktu has recently been a center of conflict between the French military and Islamic militants. Complicating the clash are tensions within Mali among the country's ethnic groups. In a live "Office Hours" webcast interview Feb. 8, Duke professor Bruce Hall explains some of the historical and cultural context of the conflict. Watch the interview live on this webpage or on Duke Today. Post a question for Hall on Twitter using @DukeOfficeHours or the Duke Office Hours Facebook page. "There is nothing 'less racial' about the situation in Northern Mali because of a history of 'mixing' than anywhere else," Hall told the International Business Times in an article published last week. "Race is not about the biology; it is about the ideas and practices that link biological traits to value which are claimed to be transmissible inter-generationally. Joining Hall is Duke senior Jennifer Denike, who completed a study abroad program in Mali in the fall of 2011. "In fact, in the absence of a strong international security presence, it seems very likely to me that racialized violence will occur on a much greater scale than it has so far," he said. Hall is the author of "A History of Race in Muslim West Africa, 1600-1960.″ At Duke, he is an assistant professor of history and African and African American Studies. This year he is a visiting scholar at Stanford University and is scheduled to participate in Friday's interview via Skype. "Office Hours" is Duke's live webcast series for the university community, and others, to engage with professors about their research and scholarship.
