This is a follow-up workshop to the Interrogating Infrastructure Symposium held in London in July 2016, and the MLA 2018 Critical Infrastructure Studies panel held at the MLA in New York in January 2018.

The first hour will be used for brief talks by the organising group, to orient our conversation:

  • James Smithies (King’s College London)
  • Alan Liu (UC Santa Barbara)
  • Matthew K. Gold (CUNY Graduate Center)
  • Arianna Ciula (King’s College London)
  • Jane Winters (School of Advanced Study, University of London)
  • Jonathan Gray (King’s College London)

We will develop an agenda for the remainder of the workshop as a group. Our goal is to produce concrete actions to develop Critical Infrastructure Studies.
