Driven by expansion, colonialism and resource extraction, and propelled by neoliberalism and rabid consumption, our world is profoundly out of balance. Join us to discuss Vanessa’s book Hospicing Modernity which offers frameworks that speak to modernity’s infrastructure and its fractures. Vanessa is the interim director of the Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies at the University of British Columbia, and the incoming Dean of the Faculty of Education at the University of Victoria, Canada. Chaired by Habiba Nabatu.
