In this lecture, Zack Furness<\/a> will discuss some of the various ways in which the bicycle has been put to use as a tool for critically examining the relationships between space, place, community, and mobility in the United States.\u00a0 By drawing attention to a range of political and cultural practices that include public protest, street\/performance art, media production, and the establishment of non-profit community centers, Dr. Furness looks at how a burgeoning counterculture of bicyclists are actively redefining the meaning of \u201cpedal power\u201d and illuminating the prospects of a more sustainable, convivial vision of city.\u00a0 Zack Furness is Assistant Professor of Cultural Studies at Columbia College Chicago and the author of One Less Car: Bicycling and the Politics of Automobility<\/em><\/a> (Temple University Press, 2010).\u00a0 He is member of the Bad Subjects Production Team and a contributor to Cycling – Philosophy for Everyone: A Philosophical Tour de Force <\/em>(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010), Media Literacy: A Reader<\/em> (Peter Lang, 2007), and Collective Action: A Bad Subjects Anthology<\/em> (Pluto Press, 2004). His writing has also appeared in the journals Mobilities<\/em> and Social Epistemology<\/em>, as well as magazines such as Punk Planet<\/em> and Bitch<\/em> (forthcoming).\u00a0 Presently, he is editing a book of scholarly essays on punk, entitled Punkademics<\/em>, and co-editing a cultural studies collection on the National Football League.<\/p>\n
