Upcoming talk by City Planning faculty member, Orly Linovski.

Join us this Tuesday for Sheryl-Ann Simpson's talk on LAND / LANDER. What are the possibilities that emerge if we start our exploration of ideas such as citizenship, participation and equity through explorations of land and landscape whether urban, rural or suburban? In this talk I will present examples from ongoing research in the California and on the prairies that take a multisensory approach (incorporating the visual and sonic) to build a stronger understanding of the relationships between land and everyday or ordinary citizenship, broadly defined as practices that make claims to space and self-determination. Finally, I will specifically discuss the ways in which these ideas might be incorporated into practices of design and planning.
