About the Lecture Series

IJURR sponsors special “IJURR Lectures” at appropriate international conferences. The purpose of the lectures is to stimulate debate over key issues in critical urban scholarship (analysis of any social, economic, political or spatial dimension of urban life that links the subject to normative concerns with social justice). Over the years we are delighted to have had leading scholars present the lectures such as Ananya Roy, Saskia Sassen, Matthew Gandy and Andy Merrifield.
