Film Screening: The Waste Commons

Please join us for a film screening followed by a discussion with the director/producer/writer, Dr. Rosalind Fredericks, an Associate Professor of Geography and Co-director of the Discard Studies Collaborative at NYU. For the past 20 years, she has studied the intersections of urbanism, development, and political ecology in Senegal through the lens of garbage. Her feature-length film, THE WASTE COMMONS, explores the lives and livelihoods affected by the closure of Dakar's Mbeubeuss dump, one of Africa's largest open-air waste sites.

The screening and discussion will take place in the Ulrich Recital Hall (Tawes Hall, 1121) on Oct 2 from 2-4 PM. All are welcome!
