With apologies to those not in London / the Southeast of England, some places are available on the next City Maps doctoral training workshop, funded by CHASE, which will take place on Thursday 28 March 2019 at Birkbeck’s University Square Stratford campus. This workshop is part of a series I am co-organising with my Birkbeck colleague Mari Paz Balibrea.

Usually, places in this workshop series are initially reserved for students funded by CHASE, or studying at a CHASE institution. But as the workshop nears we are pleased to now be able to make available up to four places for doctoral students studying at other institutions

The workshop, with Clancy Wilmott (University of Manchester), will be of interest for PhD students interested in cities and culture in general, as well as urban digitalization and mapping specifically.

The description of the workshop is below. If you would like to participate, please send the following information to Mara Arts (m.arts.12@ucl.ac.uk) by no later than 18 March 2019:

Urban spaces and scalar traces

In this workshop, Clancy Wilmott from the University of Manchester will lead a workshop with Scott Rodgers (Birkbeck) that asks participants to consider urban cultural studies through spatial theory – specifically concepts of scale, situatedness, and global-local encounters. Based at Birkbeck’s Stratford Campus, participants will conduct an in-situ geo-graphical exploration of traces across material and digital landscapes, evident and pertinent to their own research, in order to map how different scales – such as global, local, architectural and bodily – blend together, co-forming and conflicting in everyday urban spaces.
