Urban ethnographer: water, infrastructure and labour in Mexico City.

Lecturer in Urban Geography @ The University of Edinburgh
Next Wednesday, 5 November, I will be giving a talk on my research in Mexico City at the Centre for Sustainable Development Studies, University of Amsterdam.

I am really looking forward to it, and very happy to have Maria Kaika and Rutgerd Boelens as commenters.
