 is event will be in person\, in Samuel Alexander Building\, room A214. I
 t can be followed online here: https://tinyurl.com/yzm5d7k2\n\nAbstract:
  The Magdalena River\, linking Colombia’s Andean interior and Caribbean 
 coast\, long served as a conduit for the expansion of colonialism and ca
 pitalism in the Americas. Now a state-backed megaproject seeks to transf
 orm the waterway into a logistics corridor through a series of engineeri
 ng works. In this talk\, Austin Zeiderman presents his 2025 book\, Arter
 y\, which relates the Magdalena’s fraught past and uncertain future to g
 lobal entanglements of race\, nature\, and capital. He engages with deba
 tes across the social sciences and humanities to examine how racial orde
 rs shape ecologies and infrastructures. The river is now a rich site for
  examining the regimes of extractivism and inequality that continue to a
 fflict the modern world.\n\nAustin Zeiderman is a Professor of Geography
  at the LSE\, University of London.
