Racialised and Gendered Cities: new Master’s module

I am happy to start my newly designed module on Racialised and Gendered Cities next week. This 36-hours class is an optional offering for second-year students of our Master’s Degree in Geography and Territorial Sciences at the University of Turin. The official page of the module is here.

It took me a long time to design this thing, but I enjoyed the process every step of the way. The idea is to cover some basic terrain on racialization and space, Black Geographies, feminist and queer theory and practice, and then to offer specific critical perspectives on selected themes. I am thankful to the colleagues who accepted the invitation to come and discuss their work in class, and I look forward to the conversations with students.

Below you can find the syllabus.

Geography, Theory and Practice – Module syllabus 2022/2023

In the PDF below, you can find the syllabus for my Master-level module on Geography, Theory and Practice. The module offers an introduction to critical geographical thinking, with particular reference to how it developed in the past decades in Anglophone Geography.

The aim is to provide a concise, yet rich, introduction to a number of key concerns related to the critical understanding of space, place, scale and related processes. Key notions and approaches derived from political economy, relational spatial thinking, critical gender and race studies, political ecology will be presented and discussed. The course mixes frontal lectures with moments of in-depth reading of academic texts, as well as discussion of contemporary societal issues at the global scale.

The final part of the module provides a glance at some of the most common qualitative research methods in Human Geography, analysing their ethical implications and the role of Academics in the (re)production of unjust spaces.

Teaching modality: in presence, in Turin

Dates: Starting 26th Sept 2022, Ending 5th December 2022

For whom: Students part of the Interuniversity Master Degree in Geography, and any other student who will choose this module as a free option in their curricula.
