Summary
Teo Wickland is a Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow at Brown University and holds a PhD in Urban Planning from UCLA. His boundary-spanning research focuses on modernity/coloniality and abundant futures. Dr. Wickland analyzes modernity/coloniality as a currently-hegemonic world system that continues to universalize supremacist hierarchies through everything from modern scientific epistemology and tropes of expertise, to global-standard transportation systems and extractivist economic models. Against modernity/coloniality, Dr. Wickland centers abundant futures as otherwise worlds marked by polyvalent cultural, ecological, and relational diversities, that create the conditions for the continued flourishing of more and more diverse life.
