Race & Radical Placemaking

Draft Syllabus

This graduate seminar brings multidisciplinary approaches to racial formations and radical placemaking. To do so, we will move from structural critiques of power relations towards learning from how people engage in radical placemaking and anticolonial worldmaking for the promise of collective liberation. To build new theories, we will also grapple with authors’ positionalities and different methods employed including classic ethnography and archival work, and building out cohort-focused group interviews, storymaps, and drawing constellated neighborhood memories.
