Dear Staff, Scholars and Researchers,<\/p>\n
This Wednesday, April 13, at 11 AM, I would like to welcome everyone to the Library \u00a0for a seminar by guest speaker Dr. Ananya Roy entitled, “Property & Personhood at City\u2019s End: How Poor People\u2019s Movements Make Territory.”<\/p>\n
Ananya Roy is Professor of Urban Planning and Social Welfare and inaugural Director of The Institute on Inequality and Democracy at UCLA Luskin<\/a>. She holds The Meyer and Renee Luskin Chair in Inequality and Democracy. Previously she was on the faculty at the University of California, Berkeley, where she founded and played a leadership role in several academic programs, centers, and divisions, including Urban Studies, Global Metropolitan Studies, International and Area Studies, Blum Center for Developing Economies, and Global Poverty and Practice. At UC Berkeley, Ananya held the Distinguished Chair in Global Poverty and Practice and prior to that, the Friesen Chair in Urban Studies.<\/p>\n Ananya\u2019s scholarship has focused on urban transformations in the global South, with particular attention to the making of \u201cworld-class\u201d cities and the dispossessions and displacements that are thus wrought. Her books on this topic include City Requiem, Calcutta: Gender and the Politics of Poverty <\/em>and Worlding Cities: Asian Experiments and the Art of Being Global<\/em>, the latter co-edited with Aihwa Ong.<\/p>\n I look forward to seeing everyone there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Staff, Scholars and Researchers, This Wednesday, April 13, at 11 AM, I would like to welcome everyone to the Library \u00a0for a seminar by guest speaker Dr. Ananya Roy entitled, “Property & Personhood at City\u2019s End: How Poor People\u2019s Movements Make Territory.” Ananya Roy is Professor of Urban Planning and Social Welfare and inaugural… Read More April 13 Guest Seminar – Ananya Roy<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8718,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[924,46193801],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8709","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","category-wednesday-seminars"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rsfintranet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/maxresdefault-e1460124986377.jpg?fit=600%2C287&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rsfintranet.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8709","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rsfintranet.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rsfintranet.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rsfintranet.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rsfintranet.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8709"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/rsfintranet.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8709\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rsfintranet.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8718"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rsfintranet.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8709"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rsfintranet.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8709"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rsfintranet.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8709"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
