Spring 2021 graduate seminar: Geographies of infrastructure

Here is the syllabus for my spring 2021 graduate seminar “Geographies of infrastructure” (Geog 804.001)

The seminar takes “geographies of infrastructure” as a starting point for exploring the ongoing
remaking of the earth’s surface, and reworking of social relations, spaces, and flows, across
multiple sites and scales. Its approach is interdisciplinary, drawing on cultural and historical
geography, science and technology studies, historical geographical materialism, labor history,
political ecology, planetary urbanization, and “inhuman geography.” A number of workshops,
mixed media activities, and project assignments will be integrated into the seminar format to
emphasize elements of storytelling, research method, and writing practice.
