Ep 51: The Politics of Perception w Robert Rosenberger

Unbroken Chain Podcast

Robert Rosenberger is a philosopher of technology, author of “Callous Objects” (2017), and associate professor in the School of Public Policy at the Georgia Institute of Technology. A major line of his research and career has been exposing an anti-homeless agenda built into public spaces. In this conversation recorded at his home in Macon, GA, he reveals how our environments subtly encode and support the criminalization of poverty, whether we are conditioned to recognize it or not. From dominator culture to bike lanes, feminist epistemology to “trickle down Silicon Valley attitude,” this is an awakening conversation about what and how we perceive in the deceptively communicative world around us.
