During this programme, we will explore how individuals and communities organise themselves to endure the collapse of climate systems while upholding the values of dignity and justice. By examining the tactics, structures, and practices that communities under various forms of pressure have historically relied upon — from the Black Panther ‘survival programmes’ of the 1970s, to the solidarity networks of crisis-era Greece, the mutual aid efforts that emerge after every natural disaster, and the collective power achieved in Rojava — Adam Greenfield aims to equip participants with effective tools for thought and action during the most challenging moments of their lives.
Adam Greenfield has spent the past quarter-century thinking and working at the intersection of technology, design and politics with everyday life. Selected in 2013 as Senior Urban Fellow at the LSE Cities centre of the London School of Economics, he previously taught in New York University’s Interactive Telecommunications Program and the Urban Design programme of the Bartlett, University College London. His books include Everyware: The Dawning Age of Ubiquitous Computing, Urban Computing and Its Discontents, and the bestsellers Against the Smart City and Radical Technologies: The Design of Everyday Life.
