BSA Cities and Mobilities Study Group: Urban Methods on the Move
Goldsmiths, University of London
15th September 2016
http://www.britsoc.co.uk/media/115283/CITIES_Event_151916.pdf?1469634477756
This workshop aims to promote dialogue and the sharing of ideas about the creative, critical and responsive use of methods in urban research. Taking inspiration from the call to cultivate a DIY ethos in our research practice, the workshop will explore how we can develop liveliness in our methods through making use of new technological opportunities and through the re-imagining of older techniques. Across a series of discussions on approaching cities through different kinds of methods – mapping, making, working with archives, walking – we will consider how urban research can respond to a changing political and social context, including austerity and emergent and old forms of racism, alongside new forms of vernacular cultures and forms of dissent. We will discuss the temporalities of research, relationships of production and co-production and the kinds of interventions we seek to make. We hope that the format of the day – based on the pairing of researchers – will help to produce new discussions and open ongoing dialogues.
Speakers: Les Back (Goldsmiths), Ain Bailey (Birkbeck), Lisa Bradley (University of Glasgow), Adam Elliot-Cooper (University of Oxford), Mara Ferreri (Universidad Autonoma Barcelona), Melissa Garcia Lamarca Williams (University of Manchester) Kat Jungnickel (Goldsmiths), Sue Pell (Richmond University), Erin Sanders-McDonagh (Middlesex University)
