Jennifer Richter is an associate professor in the School for the Future of Innovation in Society and School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University. She is also a senior Global Futures Scholar with the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory. Professor Richter focuses on identifying and articulating systemic energy injustices, and informing new methods and processes to include more diverse voices in energy planning, for more equitable and intergenerational energy futures. More specifically, she has been researching social and political aspects of the back-end of the nuclear fuel cycle since 2005, and most recently was a co-PI on a Department of Energy grant to inform a community-driven process for siting interim nuclear waste facilities. She is a contributor to "Our Radioactive Neighbors: Collaborative Imagination, Community Futures, and Nuclear Siting Practices" (2026), an edited volume of speculative nuclear waste futures and essays, published by the Center for Science and the Imagination at ASU.
