When

noon to 1 p.m., Feb. 16, 2024

Automobility is not just a system for moving around. It’s a complex set of more-than-human relations that are all relations of power. In this talk, Teo will focus on three aspects of that power dynamic: maximizing resource consumption; enforcing supremacist hierarchies; and demanding collective subsidies. The lecture will close with reflections on possibilities for transforming transportation.

In person attendees are welcome to bring a brown bag lunch.
