18.-21.09.2016: Summer School - Assembling Cities: Studying planning practices and urban issues with STS

ASSEMBLING CITIES is an international summer school that explores the relevance of science and technology studies (STS) in general, and actornetwork theory (ANT) in particular, in the fields of planning and urban studies. We invite applications from recent graduates, PhD candidates and postdoc researchers interested in discussing how STS can inspire problematizations, descriptions and formulations of spatial planning and urban issues. The aim is to provide students with a set of concepts and methods attuned to tracing and writing the assembling – i.e. the formation, negotiation and stabilization – of cities in everyday, professional and research practice.
