Fear I am underselling the part where this is a LECTURE on CONCRETE, surely we all recognize what an EXCITING topic this is
Philadelphia nerds and some subset of academicsky nerds: Anna Tsing (!!) is giving a lecture at Penn tonight (!!) that will also be live streamed (!!) and is about a new body of work she's doing on CONCRETE (!!!!!!!) www.eventbrite.com/e/concrete-t...
Professor Anna Tsing launches the Wolf Humanities Center's 2024-2025 Forum on Keywords with a talk exploring the "concreteness of concrete."
When will it all get recycled back to river sand?
Wait, and it’s ANNA TSING??? Oh man. Now I’m whimpering like a small animal that I missed it. I try not to idolize people, but she makes it very difficult to stick to my “everyone is just a person” belief.
Omg I missed it! Was it recorded? I am just about to buy a book about ballast. Will report back. Concrete is very exciting and pls i want an info firehose about it.
I'm not joking, aggregate and how we choose to build the world are among the most pressing issues of these times and this particular scholar getting Into It is very cool!!
tbh have been fascinated by concrete since hearing this podcast ep!
