UROP with Professor Jacobs for her book project, Panic At the Pump: How the Energy Crisis Changed American Politics. This book examines how the energy shortages and soaring oil prices remade American politics in the 1970s. The UROP student would conduct primary research for this project in newspapers, magazines, archive collections, polling data, and congressional hearings. This UROP requires no background in the subject and is a perfect opportunity for a student intersted in history, political science or economics. Email mjacobs@mit.edu.
