Om
Arthur Mason is a political anthropologist specializing in energy security, ecological vulnerability, and aesthetics and futurity.
Dr. Mason’s books include Energy Capitol: The Waning of Regulatory Form (Routledge 2024) which examines the erosion of constitutional politics surrounding large-scale energy systems. His edited volumes are Arctic Abstractive Industry: Assembling the Valuable and Vulnerable North (Berghahn 2022) and Subterranean Estates: Life Worlds of Oil and Gas (Cornell 2016). Dr. Mason's forthcoming book Consulting Energy (Routledge 2025) explores the rise of consultant experts who analyze market information to produce knowledge of energy futures.
Dr. Mason holds a Visiting Senior Fellow position in the Department of Anthropology at London School of Economics. His research portal StudioPolar: The Registry explores secondary analysis of contrasting epistemic artefacts.
