Season 3 Preview

Cities@Tufts Lectures

What is planetary gentrification and its tangible effects? Has institutionalized white supremacy led to isolationist attempts at addressing our climate crisis? And could reparative urban planning be the key to addressing distributive, structural injustices? These are just a few of the questions we’ll be exploring on Season 3 of Cities@Tufts.

Here’s a short preview of what we have in store this Fall.

Our first live event is Wednesday, October 5th featuring a lecture from professor Jennie Stephens titled “Diversifying Power: Why We Need Antiracist, Feminist Leadership on Climate and Energy”.

On October 19th, professor Loretta Lees, whose known as the “Queen of Gentrification,” presents “Planetary Gentrification: impacts and futures”

Then on November 2nd, professor Rashad Williams presents “Three Models of Reparative Planning: A Comparative Analysis”

And our final lecture this Fall will come from professor Yasminah Beebeejaun presenting “Whose diversity? Race, space, and planning” on November 30th.

All lectures start at noon EST on Wednesdays and are followed by a discussion moderated by professor Julian Agyeman.
