Couple days ago I posted about the first webinar of the International Society for Participatory Mapping (ISPM) titled “The roots of our practice”. The speakers were Wendy Brawer, Giacomo Rambaldi and Michael McCall – all three of them my personal heroes and people who shaped the participatory mapping field.
If you are interested in watching the webinar, here is the video. I motivate you to join us at the ISPM to be able to joint the discussions, participate in our events, etc.
The Centre for Urban Research on Austerity is pleased to announce its second (virtual) Urban Methodologies Summer School 21-24 June 2021. Registration is free and open to all PhD students based in the UK or abroad. However, availability is limited.
The UMSS will feature four masterclass sessions led by Prof. Nazgol Bagheri (University of Texas San Antonio), Dr Begoña Amarayona (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona), Prof. Verónica Crossa (Colegio de México) and Prof. Loretta Lees (University of Leicester). These sessions will cover novel and innovative approaches to researching the urban sphere: critical qualitative GIS, visual based methods and ethnography, research ethics in the public urban space and discourse analysis for urban space research. A workshop on collaborative mapping online research will also be held with researchers of the international research project SOLIVID, and a General Lecture by Prof. Oriol Nel·lo (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) titled “the City and the Pandemic”.
wo Doctoral Student Plenaries will also feature, where selected participants will deliver short twenty minute presentations on their own research methodology to receive feedback from participants and a panel of CURA researchers. The UMSS is open to applicants from any higher education institution, or without a current affiliation, working on areas related to urban politics, policy, political economy, sociology and geography. The UMSS is free to attend, and a limited number of places will be available.
Deadline for applications is Friday 14 May 2021. You can apply here and successful applicants will be notified by early May.

International Society for Participatory Mapping (and I as an ISPM member) invite you to our first storytelling webinar: Story Lines: Experiences of participatory mapping.
In Episode 1 we explore the roots of our practice. Host Jon Corbett will invite three recognized leaders in participatory mapping to reflect on their experiences and the development of this field of practice. Drawing on many decades of applied work, our speakers will share anecdotes and lessons learned, as well as consider the future development of participatory mapping methods and our community of practice.

I just got an email with invitation to Saolta workshop on Participatory Urban Planning. The workshop will be in cooperation with Laura Puttkamer from parCitypatory. Laura is an urban journalist and a consultant on participatory techniques in urban development. In this workshop, she will present the rationale for participatory planning and give an overview of different methods for implementing Sustainable Development Goal 11. Based on participants’ own projects and experiences, we will then discuss participatory techniques and their implementation in real-life scenarios.
