He will explore his contention that who can belong in our cities > will ultimately determine what our cities can become. He will illustrate > his ideas with examples from urban planning and design, food justic and the > ‘Minneapolis Paradox’. > > Bio: > > Julian Agyeman Ph.D. FRSA FRGS is a Professor of Urban and Environmental > Policy and Planning at Tufts University. He is the originator of the > increasingly influential concept of just sustainabilities, the intentional > integration of social justice and environmental sustainability. He centers > his research on critical explorations of the complex and embedded relations > between humans and the urban environment, whether mediated by governments > or social movement organizations, and their effects on public policy and > planning processes and outcomes, particularly in relation to notions of > justice and equity. > > He believes that what our cities can become (sustainable, smart, sharing > and resilient) and who is allowed to belong in them (recognition of > difference, diversity, and a right to the city) are fundamentally and > inextricably interlinked. We must therefore act on both belonging and > becoming, together, using just sustainabilities as the anchor, or face > deepening spatial and social inequities and inequalities. > > He is the author or editor of 13 books, including Just Sustainabilities: > Development in an Unequal World (MIT Press, 2003), Cultivating Food > Justice: Race, Class and Sustainability (MIT Press, 2011), and Sharing > Cities: A Case for Truly Smart and Sustainable Cities (MIT Press, 2015), > one of Nature’s Top 20 Books of 2015. In 2018, he was awarded the Athena > City Accolade by KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, for > his “outstanding contribution to the field of social justice and ecological > sustainability, environmental policy and planning“. On September 1, 2021, > he became the Fletcher Professor of Rhetoric and Debate, an endowed chair > at Tufts University. In November 2021, he was invited by then Boston > Mayor-Elect Michelle Wu to be a Transition Advisor on her Transition > Committee. On November 17, 2023, he became Hedersdoktorer (Honorary Doctor) > at KTH Royal institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden. > > For a full biography please visit: https://julianagyeman.com > You may find the poster attached so you can share it with your network. > > See you soon, > Anjana and Joana > > ***************************** > Anthropology Matters is a network of the Association of Social > Anthropologists (ASA), who administer this list.
