On Cities: Reassembling the Urban and Global Political Landscape

The Institute of International Relations in cooperation with FORUM 2000 and The Department of Political Science at the Faculty of Philosophy and Arts, Charles University, would like to coordialy invite you to the lecture and debate with Saskia Sassen (Robert S. Lynd Professor of Sociology at Columbia University) with title „On Cities: Re-assembling the Urban and Global Political Landscape“. The debate will take place at Faculty of Philosophy and Arts, Charles University, nám. Jana Palacha 1/2, room 131 (Aula) on Tuesday, October 15th at 17:00.

What are the trajectories of the ongoing change in the cities as complex and incomplete systems, and what are the broader political effects of this change in terms of organisation of social life, political representation or war? Join us for a lecture and a conversation on these and related issues with Saskia Sassen, Robert S. Lynd Professor of Sociology at Columbia University and one of the foremost contemporary social scholars and public intellectuals exploring globalisation and (global) cities.

The discussion will be moderated by Ondřej Ditrych (Director, Institute of International Relations Prague).

We are looking forward to meeting with you!
