Hell yeah. A course I took in my last semester of college talked about a lot of this stuff. It was really my own political awakening. I even read a lot of Kevin Gotham's (Wesley's supervisor) work for my papers. I don't know what it is, but the "natural disasters are not natural" framing really flicked a switch in my brain. Good talk!!
