Teaches at Caveat

Astra Taylor is a writer, director, and organizer. Her documentary films include Zizek! and Examined Life. She has written for The New York Times, The L.A. Times, The Baffler, n+1 and other outlets. She helped launch the Rolling Jubilee, co-founded the Debt Collective, and she is coeditor of Occupy!: Scenes from Occupied America.

Greta Byrum reimagines the way we design, build, control, and govern communications systems. As Co-Director of the Digital Equity Laboratory at The New School, she builds digital justice through collaborative curricula, applied research, local projects, technical support, and national, state and local policy strategy. Previously, Greta founded the Resilient Communities program at New America, where she developed and led Resilient Networks NYC, an initiative bringing training, tools, and equipment for storm-hardened mesh WiFi to five Sandy-impacted neighborhoods. Greta is also co-lead of PNK (Portable Network Kits), an Allied Media Projects sponsored project bringing standalone solar-powered communications kits and tech training to vulnerable communities.

Meehan Crist is writer in residence in biological sciences at Columbia University. Previously, she was editor at large at Nautilus and reviews editor at The Believer. Her writing explores the intersection of science, culture, and politics: from sensory deprivation tanks and the KUBARK manual to cephalopod consciousness and climate change. Her work has appeared in publications such as the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Atlantic, the New Republic, Tin House, Lapham’s Quarterly, London Review of Books, Scientific American, and Science.
