Ideas--Arrangements--Effects (IAE) offers arrangements as a rich and overlooked terrain for achieving social justice and world building. Unpacking how ideas like racism and sexism remain sturdy by embedding themselves in everything from physical and social infrastructure to everyday speech and thought habits, IAE provides readers with tools to sense, intervene in, and imagine new arrangements. Participants will read and discuss each section of the book. It’s a perfect opportunity for people who enjoy discussion, want to learn about systems design, and benefit from dedicated time for reading.
This reading group is 3 weeks: 04/01, 04/08 04/15 from 6pm - 8pm at The Prototype Lab (545 Columbia Road.
