Bringing together academics, scientists, creative writers, visual artists, lawyers, and policy makers, We Were In It is a collaborative effort to attack the problem of climate crisis from very different backgrounds and perspectives, through fiction. The fusion of scholarship, literary writing, research, and creativity allows the strengths of many forms of writing to address the unfolding crisis of our modern petrocultures. Relying on the brevity of flash fiction to reflect the ticking clock of the climate crisis, the stories contained in this collection are slick as oil but against oil. They are a speculation about the future, taking notes from the present and the past as a portal to a better world.

Sheena Wilson is Professor of Media, Writing, and Cultural Studies at the University of Alberta. She is the co-founder of the international Petrocultures Research Group, and principal investigator of Just Powers. Her research interests involve an interdisciplinary and intersectional approach to studying how the extractivist worldview not only contributes to climate change but allows for the exploitation of gendered, classed, and racialized people. A commitment to feminism and decolonization as method and praxis as well as object of study informs her current research and all of her ongoing research partnerships under the banner of Just Powers. Her publications include, among many others, the edited collection Petrocultures: Oil, Politics, Cultures with Adam Carlson and Imre Szeman (2017) and the short film Petro-Mama: Mothering in a Crude World (2015). Her monograph in process is entitled New Logics for the Climate Crisis: Deep Energy Literacy.
