Phil Rose (PhD) currently teaches media ecology at York and McMaster Universities.  Media ecology studies the interactions between communications media, technology, techniques, and processes, and human thought, feeling, value, and behaviour. He is author of the forthcoming book Roger Waters and Pink Floyd: The Concept Albums, a project published by Fairleigh Dickinson University Press for which he extensively interviewed the former creative leader of the classic group.  His talk focuses on the humble roundabout, and how this human creation is innovative and boosts local resiliency.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
