There are many shades and intensities of space. But Dr. Thrift begins with the most obvious: how we know where we are. How we experience space as a sensory realm - how we feel where we are. How these where are being transformed as we move into a period in which our own infrastructures have produced the Anthropocene. In the last two parts of the talk, Dr. Thrift will consider how space is stabilized through the forces of the state and the economy.
