Conversations in Conflict Studies Presents: Couture Logistics - Alternative Supply Chains of Last Resort with Maggie Jack and Robert Soden
This paper contrasts the consolidation of the American mega-logistics industry with micro, homegrown logistics operations based in neighborhoods of New York City during the COVID-19 pandemic. We offer three cases: a community of immigrant street vendors in Corona, Queens; a theater-turned-food-pantry in the Lower East Side of Manhattan; and the city-wide network of mutual aid organizations.
Maggie Jack is an industry assistant professor at NYU in the Department of Technology, Culture and Society.
Robert Soden is an assistant professor in computer science and the School of the Environment at the University of Toronto.

We’re Turning 100!
To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”
Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
