Programme
The conference aims to enhance dialogue between academics and non-academic policy practitioners and community members. It will include keynote speakers, sessions, workshops and roundtable discussions to debate and explore the seminar themes through theoretical encounters or comparative analytical cases within the MENA, Europe and the rest of the world.
The Architecture & Urbanism Research Cluster at the University of Leeds invites you to participate in this seminar to explore the new horizons in global, transnational, and connected histories. In particular, we welcome early career researchers and postgraduate students who are interested in the history of global and political connections, urban planning and housing approaches and practice, movements, spaces, actors, networks, ideas and intersections between the local and the global from antiquity to the present day. We are particularly interested in scholarly and practice contributions that speak to these themes through a range of topics across various spheres and powers relations (global, gender) including (but not limited to):
- Practising political power in public spaces
- Border settlements/ regions and the state’s sovereignty
- Waves of Migration and forced displacement
- The destruction of cities and Post-conflict reconstruction strategies
- Memory, memorialization and commemoration
- Narratives of migration and displacement
- Cultural spaces of conflict (heritage, museum etc.)
- Place, conflict resolution and peacebuilding
- The role of art, performance, and graffiti in displaying identity in public spaces
