Terrain and Text A series hosted  by Farida Rady

more info  

A series of reading group discussions hosted by Farida Rady where we engage with various lines of geographic thought. Collectively, we traverse a range of texts bound together by a critical spatial approach. Topics include legal geographies, power and state formation, land politics and migration, urban rights and resistance, and creative praxis. Pre-reading is highly encouraged, and discussions will be casual and informal.
