It’s a great pleasure to announce the publication of an edited conversation between myself and David Delgado Shorter as part of a series on Ethics and Astrobiology published on FOUNDRY by the University of California Humanities Research Institute.
Dr. David Delgado Shorter is Professor of World Arts and Cultures/Dance at the University of California Los Angeles. He is also an outspoken critic of “settler science” and has regularly published and spoken on the intersections of militarism, colonialism, healing, and ufology.
Ethics and Astrobiology is a collaborative project emerging from a reading group that explores astrobiological research on a temporal scale: what life was, what life is, and what life could be across the cosmos. In the gatherings of this reading group, the collaborators leveraged the interdisciplinary friction generated by thinking through such queries together as an occasion to create a space for ethical reflection. What follows in this series is an attempt to capture some of that intellectual magic for a broader audience.
