Human and more-than-human diversities in cities

Diversités humaines et plus-qu'humaines en ville

University of Lausanne
Géopolis Building, Room 2227

The general topic of this workshop is to explore the different ways in which “urban nature” is enchanted by civil and institutional action and the implications such enchantment has in terms of sustainability and its imaginaries. The different case studies contribute to obtaining a nuanced understanding of larger social and cultural dynamics around human and more-than or other-than human diversities that characterize contemporary urbanized societies.
