Fall 2023 Lineup
The Space, Place, and Cities Reading Group is excited to begin a new semester. We are a group of scholars at Mason interested in theories of space and place and how they impinge on studies of race, class, caste, power, gender, sexuality, cities, globalization, transnationalism, and more. In the past we’ve read theorists such as Henri Lefebvre, Doreen Massey, Yi-Fu Tuan, and Marc Auge, alongside empirical studies on topics such as race and aesthetics in D.C., space and mobility in Palestine, and cross-border infrastructures in the Balkans. Going forward, we will continue to read across disciplines, sharing insights, ideas, and recommendations of group members. We will be meeting once a month on Zoom in what will be an open forum to discuss, debate, and learn from each other and what we’re reading. This group is co-hosted by Mason’s Center for Humanities Research (CHR).
