INFRASTRUCTURE BEYOND EXTRACTIVISM

Our interdisciplinary team of Indigenous theorists, critical legal scholars and geographers, and land-based practitioners, brings forward a bold agenda for fundamentally re-making our socio-technical systems; for generating strategies to both conceptualize and materialize ‘infrastructure otherwise' (Cowen 2017). If infrastructures of extraction constitute the ‘spine' of the settler colonial nation (LaDuke & Cowen 2020), we propose a vital new central nervous system: communities energized by a completely different conception of what ‘critical infrastructure' entails.
