Bruce Braun teaches in the department of geography at the University of Minnesota. He is the author of The Intemperate Rainforest: Nature, Culture and Power on Canada's West Coast (2002) and the co-editor of Remaking Reality: Nature at the Millennium (1998) and Social Nature: Theory, Practice, Politics (2001). His current research on posthuman urbanism examines the city as a 'more-than-human' assemblage and explores what this means for our understanding of the spatio-temporal rhythms of urban life, the composition of human and non-human bodies within urban networks, the political technologies devised to regulate the exchange of properties between humans and non-humans, and the relation between science, democracy, and urban politics.
