Ian Caine participated in the Texas Tech College of Architecture’s student-run debate series, CoA Dialogues. This impressive student-run series has been up-and-running for over a decade. This year’s theme is Future Societies, featuring discussions on Equity, Environment, Histories, and Political Geography.
Professor Caine and Texas Tech faculty Danie Vaughn had a wide-ranging conversation on the topic of Political Geography, probing the relationships between urban development, capital, ecology, rhetoric, policy and of course design. Topics included Walmart, Stormwater, Elon Musk, Houston, West Texas, and the Rio Grande Delta. Excellent questions and comments from a small but highly engaged group of students.
Thank you to Dr. Jeffrey Nesbit, Grace Shanks, and Texas Tech for the invitation!
