The politics of infrastructure and emancipatory political Infrastructures

The first workshop of the Seminar Series “Re-thinking the spatial politics of global urbanization processes: the contested relationalities of port cities past and present”, is titled “Re-thinking the spatial politics of global urbanization processes: the contested relationalities of port cities past and present” and will take place in Thessaloniki, Greece on 26 & 27 May 2022. The workshop will foreground the spatial politics of infrastructure as a key terrain through which global urbanization processes are being shaped and contested by multiple actors at multiple scales. The event will situate port-cities as key nodes in infrastructure politics that enable global flows and animate the forces of capital and ‘empire’ and explore how the exclusionary ordering of the urban is contested through multi-ethnic encounters, solidarities and political infrastructures.

"Being approved for the USF International Fellowship proved to be a pivotal moment in my career, offering a much-needed boost of stability and opportunity following the completion of my PhD. It was crucial to have nine months to concentrate on publishing and presenting my work in high-impact journals, during which time I was also able to foster interlocution and consolidate a network of exchange with international urban researchers. The Fellowship has created many positive consequences and opportunities for the development of my career and academic skills, and I am confident that this mark on my professional journey will be very valuable in the long term."
