This Birkbeck Institute for Social Research Working Group explores cities as a lens for locating, observing, critiquing and inspiring dialogues about social practices, values and identities. The ‘urban’ shows up in a panoply of ways across the social sciences and humanities, and almost by definition is a topic demanding interdisciplinary investigation.
Urban Intersections will take this interdisciplinary demand seriously. The Working Group convenes urban research constituencies across three schools and seven departments at Birkbeck.
