Thanks Alice hope all is well?

As always, my deepest thanks go to all the co-researchers who so generously shared their stories with me. Nothing would have been possible without their trust.

Incredibly happy, as Urban Studies is one of my favourite journals, and ‘Volviendo a Vivir’ (Coming Back to Life): Urban Trauma, Activism and Building Emancipatory Futures (journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....) was also such a pleasure to write with Rachel Pain, on a topic very close to my heart.

As a result, the book is also innovative in the way that it combines text with audio-visual materials, which means, do take a look at the links in it and the videos that let the women share their knowledge literally. We are beyond happy to be able to share this book.

Plus, it is a guide to our methodology: hybrid participatory audio-visual research, that we developed and used in the last three years to work together.

The book has been co-written with the women co-researchers and shares their testimonies of displacement, their challenges in the urban and their hopes for better urban futures.

Participation is free of charge, and we provide a limited number of ECR travel bursaries to cover train costs within the Netherlands. See below for more information, and spread the word!
For questions don't hesitate to reach out to me or my co-organisers.

If you like to have some easy accessible explanation of consequences of Trumps decisions, especially USAID shut down, you can listen to the last episode of Pot Save the World. May not let you sleep easily though afterwards.https://crooked.com/podcast-series/pod-save-the-world/

The continued cowardliness of politicians and especially European governments, not standing up to Trump's lunatic decisions will cost us all! Development activities are in the rarest moments totally altruistic, let's be honest. Stopping them for nationalistic reasons is pretty dangerous.
