 ey": Starbase and the Ninth Cycle of Boom and Bust

DESCRIPTION:Rockets in the "Magic Valley": Starbase and the Ninth Cycle of
  Boom and Bust\n\nWhat does SpaceX's Starbase look like when viewed from 
 the expansive history of the Rio Grande Valley\, including previous booms
  sold as dreams? In this talk\, I trace my path from collaborative filmma
 king with Aboriginal communities in the Western Desert of Australia to my
  current fieldwork in Brownsville\, where I am studying Starbase as part 
 of a centuries-long pattern of colonial promise\, extraction\, and resist
 ance. I share what I'm learning on the ground and in archives\, as well a
 s consider methods\, ethics\, and what an anthropologist owes the places 
 they study.\n\nhttp://next-to-u.app/events/d5b4ca3c-5da5-47b4-8b32-f4ea2a
