Urbanism evening with the @academyofurbanism.bsky.social. Norman+Fosters’ Spencer de Grey discussed urban interventions across Europe. One of the takeaways is that urban design needs to look beyond the place that is intervened itself, looking also at connections & surroundings + consultations

Today, as part of Antwerp’s Deathcare project, Dr Ural presents on recent the history of burial laws and practices regarding religious minorities, and how the upholding of Muslim traditions in public space in contemporary Europe can function as an “act of citizenship”

The next 10 days:
'Distributive Affective Justice' describes the distribution process for affective goods & burdens (MANCEPT)
'Affective Rights to the City' specifies entitlements to emotional aspects of urban life that must be protected by policymakers (MANCEPT & The Future of Practical Ethics).

Very interesting call— hope to be there presenting one of the project’s works in progress!

This is a very timely find, since one of the first outputs of the project will be my work in progress on care-washing in the built environment, which I started when I came across Norman Foster’s “agora-like” Apple store in Milan

In year 1 I will (re-)read a lot of stuff on cities and affect. This is a v new topic in phil, but there is a lot to explore from other areas of phil & other disciplines. I will be sharing my readings here as “AFFINITY lit review” short threads, but here is an overview of what is coming! #philsky 🚶🏽‍♀️🌇

Hello Bluesky! Here is a brief description of the project. In the next 3 years, I will explore topics like community, loneliness, home, or self-narration in connection with urban affective justice.
