Programme

Building on and contributing to recent debates in urban and feminist geography on social reproduction and urban infrastructures, this two-day USF International Workshop (May 30-31 2024) brought together emerging and leading scholars and activists/practitioners from both the Global North and South in order to explore: 1) the ways that grassroots infrastructures are built and sustained through the everyday struggles of urban residents; and 2) how these infrastructures function as a dual form of urban social reproduction and political transformation. Here, you can find recordings of the workshop sessions from both days. 

This workshop was the first meeting of a growing network of scholars across contexts working around themes of urban and socio-material infrastructures. The event also culminated in the creation of a digital zine.
