This chapter discusses emergent questions about energy justice and climate justice scholarship, pedagogy and praxis, based on several interdisciplinary, community-engaged research projects in India and the United States. Based on qualitative research and fieldwork-based methods, the chapter argues that rather than a fixed set of principles or ideas, the concepts of energy and climate justice are polysemic and grounded in the environmental and social justice struggles of specific geographic contexts. The chapter concludes with several questions for researchers to grapple with, centring questions of responsibility, positionality, reciprocity and building just relations across international contexts or across institutional identities while conducting fieldwork, and across epistemic divides in interdisciplinary teams with both positivist and critical scholars across the social sciences, humanities, natural sciences and engineering.
