Episode 37: Episode 37: Place-Based Activism and Democracy

from REDESIGNING CITIES: The Speedwell Foundation Talks @ Georgia Tech · host School of Architecture, Ellen Dunham-Jon

How have youth organizations in disinvested neighborhoods reinvigorated models of democratic citizenship and collective life? Can the exercise of collective agency in the physical space of “the commons” provide young people with the practical skills to engage with today’s economic, racial, and ecological crises? Dr. Sharon Egretta Sutton’s newest and sixth book, Pedagogy of a Beloved Commons: Pursuing Democracy's Promise Through Place-Based Activism, makes that case and we discuss her research on how urban design and urban designers can empower the disenfranchised.
