New publication! In this book chapter I examine why indigenous communities embed mining in their territorial projects & how state responses enhance indigenous vulnerability before (legal and illegal) mining. Published with @manchesterup.bsky.social manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526181831/

The sum of the parts or something more than the sum of the parts? Corning Museum of Glass left me with lost of questions about the art/ science of lenses. Sand mining, glass industry and micro/macro sensing entangled at the same building. Hands down, one of the best museums I’ve visited in the US.
