MAPPING (IN)JUSTICE SYMPOSIUM DIGITAL THEORY + PRAXIS FOR CRITICAL SCHOLARSHIP

Grant Name: MAPPING (IN)JUSTICE SYMPOSIUM DIGITAL THEORY + PRAXIS FOR CRITICAL SCHOLARSHIP
Date: November 7th – 9th, 2019
Location: Fordham University New York, New York

The Mapping (In)Justice Symposium at Fordham University’s Lincoln Center campus will convene a group of more than 60 critical scholars over three days to explore structural inequities in or through spatial media, especially as they relate to matters of difference—such as race, gender, class, ethnicity, ability, sexuality, and religion. Please visit our website: MAPPING (IN)JUSTICE, to explore a full schedule of presentations, participant bios, and symposium proceedings.

While there is no registration fee, we encourage attendees to consider donating a commensurate “registration fee” to our neighbors at the Goddard Riverside at Lincoln Square Neighborhood Center. The center was founded as a settlement house in 1947 on Manhattan’s Upper West Side and primarily serves residents of the Amsterdam Houses and Amsterdam Addition communities. Directions for how to make a secure donation can be found on the registration page.
