Just got back home after the AAG and a workshop at Columbia Uni. It was both affective and overwhelming. Brought up epigenetic memories and instincts of authoritarian encounters. I was constantly looking over my shoulder and can‘t imagine the everyday terror confronting our American brethren.

Having written so much about Automobile Urbanism, it was always a dream to travel to Motown-Detroit. Using Sara Safransky‘s city after property as a guide, I walked through the city‘s ruins the last two days in preparation for #AAG2025. Visited urban agricultural initiatives and sites of abandonment

Late post. Last week at DARCH, ETH Zurich we celebrated Parity Talks 10.
An initiative that aims to positively contribute to the issues of Equity, Diversity & Inclusion. In its 10th year the initiative reflected on affective spaces at the current authoritarian conjuncture. parity.arch.ethz.ch

Excellent opening keynote by @jlorimer.bsky.social at the Beyond Maintenance NSL symposium at the ETH last night. Jamie presented insights on rewilding, and the emerging paradigm of biozooengineering within the field of Earth System sciences. Especially focusing on the deep histories and futurities.

@ifidimi.bsky.social and I had a wonderful time hosting Prof. Charles Heller from Border Forensics on Forensic Geography, environmentality, and the authoritarian state as part of the Zürich Human Geography Colloquium. Charles talked about the urgency of forensic work at the current conjuncture.
