✨ Last week at Re-City 2025 & Radical Care Week at Tampere University. Presented on prefigurative pedagogy + tactical urbanism, and (with Zeynep Kaynar) on sustainable practices & radical care. Practising democracy means making space for many voices — a practice of radical care. Feeling inspired. :)

I have a new article out in Urban Studies that explores the intersection of contemporary financial capitalism, urban transformation, and the value of speculative fiction. It's part of a special issue called "Urban Imaginations and Urban Futures." A brief thread: journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Excited to have my work published in such a prestigious journal, alongside critical thinkers like Foucault, Ricoeur, and Habermas. My piece revisits utopias through Arendt's lens of freedom, action, and the public sphere to explore youth climate activism today. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Includes examples of how to build community, or to connect to larger change. hechingerreport.org/teaching-abo...
