Spatial aspects of urban justice| Seminar series "Where is Urban Politics?"

When:Fr 16-05-2025 at 13:00
Where:University College Groningen, Learning Landscape

We are delighted to welcome Bart van Leeuwen (Radboud University, Nijmegen) for a lecture on the spatial dimensions of urban justice.  This lecture will be a combined seminar with 'The City' course.

This seminar will address a normative conception of urban space. I will discuss a number of distinctions, including a distinction between justice "in" and "of" the city, where "in" refers to justice as a distribution issue and "of" refers to justice embodied in the organization of urban space itself. I will discuss a further conceptual subdivision of the latter category by distinguishing between urban space as "actor" and as "expression".
