Undergraduate urban research conf: Building Community, Building Bridges

Posted by on April 22, 2005

Building Community, Building Bridges:
urban studies, engaged scholarship, thoughtful activism

Friday, April 29th
8:30 AM-5:30 PM
Temple University

This one day undergraduate urban research conference will focus on the theme of an Urban Studies agenda that includes both active engagement and reflection. The goal of the conference is to bridge the gap between undergraduate academic work at Temple University and the wider network of scholars, activists, community members, and government officials engaged in the work of building communities.

Topics addressed will include uneven development in housing, community economic development and race and gender in Philadelphia.

The following are generously cosponsoring the event:
Associate Dean Richard Joslin, Director of Undergraduate Affairs Angela Scott
Temple University College of Liberal Arts
Temple University Department of Anthropology
Temple University Department of Geography and Urban Studies
Temple University Society of Fellows in the Humanities
