Laleh Khalili,, Professor of International Politics and author of Sinews of War & Trade, joins us for a conversation on land reclamation, dredging and the role of maritime infrastructures as conduits of the movement of technologies, capital, people and cargo. Addressing the significant bodies of water around which a politics has taken shape, Laleh discusses the tension of the sea as a romanticised incredible and abstract space, yet also a space of death, exploitation, slavery and colonialism, highlighting the geoeconomical inequalities in the world.
