Bio/CV:
Jasmine McAdams is a PhD student in the Energy & Resources Group, and a member of Dr. Maya Carrasquillo's Liberatory Infrastructures Lab. Jasmine’s research focuses on the infrastructures of and for imagination – the material, digital, and civic systems that shape how social and environmental futures are envisioned and made possible. Through analysis of the built environment, with a particular focus on data centers, energy systems, and carceral infrastructure, she examines how large-scale systems enable and constrain the capacity to imagine and enact alternative futures, and how power and belonging are unevenly distributed across them.
