3:15 PM - 4:00 PM

BookTV on C-Span2 Tent
In this illuminating session, Frank Andre Guridy and Megan Kimble will examine how our built environment has shaped—and fractured—American communities. In The Stadium, Guridy explores stadiums as spaces of both recreation and protest, revealing their roles in political and social change. Kimble’s City Limits focuses on urban highways, showing how they’ve divided cities, displaced communities, and deepened inequality. In their respective works, Guridy and Kimble discuss how structures meant to unite have also driven us apart—and what we can do to rethink infrastructure to create more just and connected communities.
