Summer Institute in Urban Studies

The Summer Institute in Urban Studies provides an opportunity for doctoral students, post-doctoral researchers and recently appointed faculty and lecturers, to investigate leading-edge theoretical and methodological questions, along with a range of associated career development issues, in the field of urban studies. The Summer Institute features contributions from internationally renowned academics from across urban studies, from inside and outside of the host universities. The designing of programmes provides participants with an in-depth understanding of the innovatory developments and enduring controversies in urban studies. The programmes provide mentoring and support in the different aspects of the academic labour process: applying for grants to design courses, editing books and special issues of journals, key controversies and debates, writing book proposals, publishing in journal and other challenges and opportunities of working at the academic/non-academic interface, taking in consideration the shifting boundaries of the field of urban studies.
