Webinar: Coping with Corona in the Margins: Urban Vulnerabilities and Inequalities | The Open City Initiative
Organizers: Sterre Gilsing(MSc), Dr. Martijn Oosterbaan, Dr. Kees Koonings, Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ
Date & time: March 18, 13:00 – 15:00 (CET time)
In which ways do authoritative (state and non-state) actors respond to the Covid-19 pandemic in so-called ‘urban margins’? In this webinar we will present the collaborative ethnographic research that we have carried out in the last eight months across eight different urban centers from the global South. The presentations will focus on pertinent issues that have emerged from the various research sites, namely grassroots coping strategies, policing practices, and governance discourses. By bringing together examples from diverse urban margins, we aim to draw out the various ways in which governments, local organizations and criminal actors have coped with the challenges of our current times.
In this Webinar, Brian Kimari (Centre for Human Rights and Policy Studies, Nairobi) will speak about COVID-19 emergency responses and politics in urban margins: The Kazi mtaani programme in Mathare Constituency, Nairobi, Kenya. For more information see:
