معرفی
Dominic Davies is a Senior Lecturer in English at City St George's, University of London, where he focuses on infrastructure studies, cultural politics, and graphic narratives. His research explores how material structures like roads, railways, and energy systems shape political imagination and belonging, connecting these to histories of empire and contemporary issues like Brexit, refugee experiences, and climate activism.
His work bridges the arts and humanities with infrastructure research, co-authoring books such as Graphic Refuge: Visuality and Mobility in Refugee Comics and authoring The Broken Promise of Infrastructure. He has received prestigious funding, including a British Academy/Leverhulme Small Grant, and collaborates internationally through networks like the Thinking Through Infrastructure Network (TTiN).
- Infrastructure and Empire: Analyzes how colonial histories influence modern infrastructure failures.
- Refugee Comics: Investigates visual narratives to critique citizenship frameworks.
- Community Energy Projects: Uses creative methods to reimagine sustainable energy systems.
- Cultural Politics: Links roads, borders, and energy systems to ideological struggles.
His recent activities, including podcasts, workshops, and public advocacy, emphasize interdisciplinary collaboration and decolonial approaches to infrastructure.
