History
D'Arcy is a graduate from the University of Michigan, having received a dual degree in Chemical Engineering and Arts and Ideas in the Humanities. She's spent two years in the engineering industry working at an environmental engineering consulting firm. She aims to combine her two undergraduate interests with a degree in History of Science with a focus on renewable energy to cover her environmental interest. She also cares deeply about social justice, and plans to incorporate social and environmental justice into her research as well.
Since starting coursework, she has developed an added interest in energy labor as an additional facet of environmental justice. She will obtain the Certificate in Non-profit Management and use another of her skill areas for Urban Public Policy to work with urban labor and energy infrastructure. Two case studies she plans to research for her dissertation are the Detroit Incinerator that opened in 1991 and closed down in 2019, and the pushback from mine workers in Appalachia about renewable energy implementation.
Long term she plans to use her research and subject matter expertise to work with the public and private sectors to foster more effective and just renewable energy implementation, as well as working to make all energy sectors support their workers adequately.
