Join us this spring at Malmö University for the launch of NEGSU’s Global South Urbanisms Lecture Series, organized in collaboration with the IUR!
Launched in 2024, the Nordic Network of Global South Urbanisms (NEGSU) aims to bring together scholars working to rethink the location, theories, and practices of the field of urban studies. NEGSU seeks to promote cross-Nordic research and collaboration that engages with the global South through an approach that acknowledges historical difference, embodied knowledge, and the existence of a pluriverse of epistemologies. In doing so, the network highlights the importance of presenting the geographies of the global South in more nuanced and rich ways through, but not limited to, critical, postcolonial, decolonial, and feminist approaches.
