The Urban Environments Initiative (UEI) is welcoming a variety of submissions for its online conference “Irritations and Unforeseen Consequences of the Urban.” Over the past two years, the UEI has brought together scholars from a variety of international institutions to critically engage and exchange expertise on various aspects of the urban, and this from a variety of disciplinary viewpoints.
For the first time, we will be holding a conference that will have UEI members present their work while inviting external participants to join and present their work as well. The three-day conference will be held via Zoom from 30 June to 2 July and will run tentatively from 14:45–18:15 (CET) each day.
The keynote speakers Hannah Knox (Department of Anthropology,
University College London) and Anuradha Mathur (practicing architect; Weitzman School of
Design, University of Pennsylvania) will share their thoughts in conversation with one another at
our keynote session “Debating Urban Climates.”
Deadline to apply: 19 April 2021
