Lecture Series by the University of Basel- Critical Urbanisms: Current Debates
The Department of Social Science of the University of Basel offers an engaging lecture series titled Critical Urbanisms: Current Debates.
” The course exposes students to schools of thought and concrete interventions that redefine understandings of urban lifeworlds in the twenty-first century. The lecture series will explore the dynamics that shape cities and how cities, in turn, impact the course of locally situated and global phenomena.
