[Infrastructure-readinggroup] planning April 9 - May 21 && next books

[Niels ten Oever]

Hi all,

I hope this email finds you all very well. This is a relatively short planning email for after April 2nd (until then everything runs as planned).

 From April 9 - May 21, I am teaching on Tuesdays. How shall we deal with this:

- Move the six sessions from April 9 - May 21 to Friday and after that shift back to Tuesday
- Take a break between April 9 - May 21
- Continue on Tuesdays w/o Niels for six weeks
- something else?

Let me know your preference!

After April 2nd we will also have to choose a number of new books. Feel free to send emails off-list or on-list with suggestions.

Books that are currently on my mind are:

- New from Germany by Heidi Tworek
- The Smartness Mandate by Orit Halpern and Robert Mitchell
- The Apple II Age by Laine Nooney
- Friction by Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing
- European Objects by Brice Laurent
- The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow
- Power and Progress by Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson
- Technology of Empire by Yang
- Duress by Ann Laura Stoller
- The Red Rockets' Glare by Asif A. Siddiqi
- Theories of Ideology by Jan Rehmann

Please let me know if you love or hate any of these books, as to prevent us from disasters :)

Best,

Niels
