On Friday, March 28 at noon EDT, Prof. Lauren Bridges of the University of Virginia will give a talk, “Digital Prospecting: Land Use Politics and the Expansion of Digital Infrastructures” as part of Yale Center for Industrial Ecology’s series on the Digital Economy & the Environment.
Prof. Lauren Bridges will examine the local politics of digital infrastructure expansion and the growing entanglement between land prospecting and digital growth speculation. Drawing from fieldwork in Northern Virginia and Southern California, Prof. Bridges will explore how digital industrialists like Amazon exploit local land use policies to facilitate rapid development of warehouses and data centers.
The talk is free and open to all. Professor Makov will speak via Zoom. Register to attend here.
