Elemental Commons: Pyropolitics and the Governance of the Flammable​

This panel discussion explores pyropolitics as a critical lens for understanding how the management and manifestation of fire shape contemporary sovereign power and social space. As ‘we’ unevenly navigate the "Pyrocene," the panel seeks to theorise fire not merely as a geophysical hazard, but as a fundamental logic of territorial control, colonialism, and struggle in a heating world. Through diverse geographical scales, we aim to map how flames can both exert power and make possible resistance.

Research through Design Workshop: Exploring productive ambiguity in sensing and measurement

Measuring and sensing devices play an important role in research across both the medical humanities and geography. This workshop will explore the nature of these devices not as they currently exist, but as they might be — generating ideas for speculative computational products. The workshop hence revisits sensing and measurement not as sites of certainty, but as sites of exploration.

Professor Bruce Braun: 'Infrastructural Dismantlings: On Harm and Repair in Polyphonic Assemblages'.

Proceeding through a series of interwoven stories that explore, in turn, enactments of the “prior” in a hydrology lab; the emergent biopolitics of a lock and dam; inscriptions and erasures of settler cosmotechnics; toxic ecologies of repair; and the geologics of (white) property, I argue for an ethics and politics of dismantling attuned to the diverse, entangled, and decidedly non-teleological spatial and temporal rhythms of environment-infrastructure.
