Fellow Spotlight: Russell Cobb, “The City of Magical Thinking: Tulsey Town Becomes the Oil Capital of the World”

Join us for a presentation by short-term fellow Russell Cobb, as he shares insights from his time in residence at the Helmerich Center for American Research. Drawing from research conducted in both the HCAR and McFarlin Special Collections, this talk, rooted in a forthcoming book project, explores Tulsa’s transformation into a global oil capital through an idiosyncratic, archival lens. This informal and generative session invites feedback, conversation, and collaboration. All are welcome!
