Academic Year 2023\/2024<\/strong><\/p>\n

Julie Klinger’s talk<\/strong> “Waste in Space: Mines, E-Waste, Launch Sites, and Asteroids in Outer Space Geographies” will be held on November 20, 2023, at 4:00 PM<\/strong> in Kilachand Center Colloquium Room.<\/p>\n

This talk examines the material relations through which contemporary human engagements with outer space are being produced across four constitutive sites: mines, discarded electronics, launch sites, and asteroids. Drawing together literatures on waste, discard, supply chains, and frontiers with fieldwork in several mining and launch sites in China, Sweden, the United States and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, it argues that waste-making is constitutive of a set of contemporary space activities and shapes the manner in which the immensity of the cosmos is understood and engaged by diverse publics. The talk presents a conceptual architecture and also reflexively examines the potential epistemic violence of waste-making as a spatial analytic to link Earthly and outer space geographies.<\/p>\n

Veronika Kusumaryati and Ernst Karel\u2019s film screening with Q&A<\/span><\/strong>, \u201cExpedition Content,\u201d will be held on\u00a0April 3, 2024, at 4:00 PM\u00a0in the College of Communication (room B05).<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

This is a unique opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students and faculty members to engage with the work of an anthropologist and a sound artist in their collaborative artistic expression.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n
