@kklevine I'm a once upon a time undergrad Linguistics and English major now working in active transportation policy so I definitely think about how people and actions are described and how that frames assumptions and perceptions. In the same vein as this study, Australian research found aggro drivers perceive cyclists as less than human: usa.streetsblog.org/2019/03/28 citing sciencedirect.com/science/arti.

In a first for this semester, I managed to get through all the content I'd prepared for today's lecture. Learning about (and why we don't have them) sparks a lot of fascinating conversations in class, and we often go on amazing--if tangential--journeys together.

I truly love this course.
