A conversation with researchers Stephanie Kyuyoung Lee and Philipp Sattler on how agricultural practices and land ownership models express social, political, and economic systems.
Lee’s Hard Labor, Soft Space: The Making of Radical Ruralism, and Sattler’s Trembling Worlds analyse questions of land property and productivity in the Upstate New York and Austrian territories and how they inform social identity, memory, and racial issues. Through field and archival investigations, they tackle academic research methodologies, building a critique of capitalism and looking at new cohabitation models.

This conversation is part of KoozArch's issue "Terra Infirma."
