Summary:

"This SDUK broadsheet takes COMMUTING as its theme. Alongside the most familiar usage of "commuting" (moving to and from work), the contributions in this issue touch on many aspects of circulation, migration, and change that are flowing across and rumbling below the surface of the Earth. As this publication platform traces the diffusion of knowledge, this issue in particular explores the shifts, displacements, and movements we must consider in an age of rapid global change in order to commute the Earth's death sentence. We know you open this broadsheet with many questions, interests, and curiosities already formed, so here are a few places to start: In seeking a fuller picture of what human consumption habits do, many are asking: "How are local environments impacted by the global circulation of goods?" Artist projects by Dana Prieto (p. 1, 3, 4) and Sydney Hart (p. 16) trace the effects of commercial flows (Canadian mining operations in Argentina and the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway, respectively) on landscapes, humans, and non-humans. A contribution from Canada's Waste Flow (p. 23) identifies waste's trajectories and provides opportunities to think beyond the landfill. Those who are often caught in in-between movements to school, work, and home may wonder: "How do our daily migrations come to bear on our relationships to each other?" Contributions by Stanka Radović (p. 18), Fraser McCallum (p. 20), and the City of Mississauga's Climate Change Project (p. 25) ponder commuting culture's realities and technologies, while profiles of CultureLink, Ecosource, Great Lakes Water Walk, the Southern Ontario Centre for Atmospheric Aerosol Research, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's Multicultural Connections Program, and Walk + Roll Peel highlight other kinds of movement-making and -building..."-- provided by distributor.
