Empathy, with Steven Gonzalez Monserrate

The Data Fix with Dr. Mél Hogan

In this absolutely delightful hour, Steven Gonzalez, an anthropologist of data centers, walks us through various sites of ethnographic research — from places of abandonment post-climate disaster, the desert, to the suburbs. While much as been written and discussed about data centers in the last decade, nobody does it quite as thoughtfully as Steven — showing empathy and feeling in and through his writing. Recorded Oct 2, 2023. Released Nov 13, 2023.
