Global Metropolitan Studies, UC Berkeley

📰 Pleased to share the publication of faculty affiliate @TrapenbergFrick's article in @JPER7, celebrating the work of ACSP Distinguished Educator Betty Deakin! Betty played a critical role in the development of GMS, and we are happy to see her so honored. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/07…

Fue un gusto participar del panel “Trabajos móviles” en la @UNAM_MX. Muy importante escuchar las ponencias sobre el movimiento de trabajadores “informales”, su visibilidad en la Ciudad y sus implicaciones para la gobernanza urbana.

As the semester is officially over, there is no better news than the publishing of "Embodying Peripheries," free for download at books.fupress.com/catalogue/embo…. The book will be launched in June at the Milan Triennale (Arch Week, OffCampus @Polimi) and will be available in print by then
