Current research interests

My research interests revolve around expanded notions infrastructure (after theorist Irit Rogoff), with a special focus on cultural and pedagogical efforts to address global ecological crisis. What roles do contemporary practitioners, especially artists and rogue educators, play in extending adaptive cultural infrastructure? How do they define success? Which historical practices do they draw from?
