Urban Politics of Materialities and Bodies
The notion of urban politics has for some time been revisited and redefined. URO Research Center have invited 3 prominent international researchers and asked them to critically approach three urgent themes of politics in urban space. We therefore hereby invite all interested to attend this seminar on the politics and activism of care, housing and ressourcification. The seminar will both look at how power is materialised, spatialised and structured in urban politics and on how different forms of activism and activists are trying to challenge and resist these existing dominant agendas. Time and venue 20 November 2018, Room 1483-251
