AbdouMaliq Simone is one of the leading urbanists of our time. He has shown repeatedly how misleading is the characterization of “failed cities” across Africa and South-East Asia by revealing the sustaining relations, networks, and structures enabling life in the most precarious city landscapes. Working extensively in and at the edges of cities such as Douala, and Dakar, in Jeddah, Johannesburg, and Jakarta, Simone has crafted uniquely creative methodological engagements at the interface of planning and postcolonial studies, urban policy, global studies, and critical theory as well as a critical analytics for comprehending “rogue urbanism” and the “cities yet to come”.
Currently a Research Professor at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity, we are excited to announce that Professor Simone will be visiting UC Irvine on March 4th & 5th. He will engage in a series of open discussions with faculty which all are invited to attend.
