With his varied skills and interests, talking to Shawn Selway is a journey and a half. Devoted to the preservation of the industrial machinery of the past, he also believes new technology “sets the horizon of possibility” for our future. To that end, we must resolve the tension between technological and political solutions to our problems. These tensions played a huge role in the mid-twentieth century medical evacuations of the Inuit from their arctic home to the Mountain Sanatorium here in Hamilton. Gird your loins, and tune in to Shawn Selway, a true visionary.
