CIFAR: Humanity’s Urban Future, in Silicon Valley

Was honored to be invited to participate in an amazing workgroup meeting of CIFAR: Humanity's Urban Future ahead of this year's AAG meeting. An international group of urban geographers, all concerned with the various ways the tech industry intersects with and shapes cities, gathered at the UC Santa Cruz campus for a day of short presentations and moderated discussion, followed by a weekend touring the greater Bay Area.

Autonomous Motives

Delighted to announce that I'm a doctor! I completed my dissertation "Autonomous Motives: Tech, Shared Mobility, Privatization, and the Utopian Imaginary in the Bay Area" with the help of my wonderful committee: Miriam Greenberg (chair), Rick Prelinger, and Hillary Angelo.
