37th & The World: Exploring Southern Urbanisms

In international relations, cities occupy a rich focal point of migration, economic activities, and other distinctive urbanized social formations. The work of Professor AbdouMaliqu Simone asks us to reposition questions of urban studies through the centering of “Southern Urbanisms,” the everyday ways of living for residents who inhabit cities located in the Global South. In this interview GJIA sat down with Professor Simone to discuss the significance of Southern Urbanisms and how this paradigm can transform how we view social life in cities.
