DESCRIPTION:As part of the Distinguished Visitors Scheme\, Professor Abdou
 Maliq Simone (Professor of Sociology and Urbanism\, Max Planck Institute f
 or the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity) will be visiting the Depar
 tment from Tuesday 3rd to Thursday 5th November 2015.\n\nAbdouMaliq Simone
  is one of the leading urbanists of our time. He has shown repeatedly how 
 misleading is the characterisation of 'failed cities' across Africa and So
 uth-East Asia by revealing the sustaining relations\, networks\, and struc
 tures enabling life in the most precarious of city landscapes. Working ext
 ensively in and at the edges of cities such as Douala\, and Dakar\, in Jed
 dah\, Johannesburg\, and Jakarta\, Simone has crafted uniquely creative me
 thodological engagements at the interface of planning and postcolonial stu
 dies\, urban policy\, global studies\, and critical theory as well as a cr
 itical analytics for comprehending 'rogue urbanism' and the 'cities yet to
  come'.
