African Centre for Cities invites you to the launch of theoriSE: debating the southeastern turn in urban theories, edited by Oren Yiftachel and Nisa Mammon. This edited volume, based on contribution to the TheoriSE? Workshop held at the University College London in late 2019, features contributions by Gautam Bhan, Mona Fawaz, Amanda Hammar, Mona Harb, Irit Katz, Colin Marx, Faranak Miraftab, Sophie Oldfield, Catalina Ortiz, Susan Parnell, Libby Porter, Jennifer Robinson, AbdouMaliq Simone, Carlos Vainer, Vanessa Watson, Tanja Winkler, Haim Yacobi and Oren Yiftachel.
The book is dedicated to lasting memory, courage, rigour, values and friendship of Professor Vanessa Watson, who was not only a pioneer in Southern urban and planning theory, but also a leading force in organising the workshop.
