We are both honored and excited to be kicking off our third season with professor and author Julian Agyeman. We only had time to explore a small portion of Agyeman’s extensive body of work. His contributions (publications, books, and research) span decades and cover a wide range of topics: from urban planning to food justice. Even a brief overview of his career would have required hours to do it justice.
We look back at the beginning of his career and how an undergrad in geography and botany has led to decades in the "social sciences of urban planning." We dive into how "just sustainabilities" has become the platform for much of his work and how his research is based off this concept. We then move onto how we can tie together urban planning, food justice, the role of race, and environmental education into how we look at cities and their planning.
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did and that it inspires you to see U.S. cities through a new lens: one rooted in equity, justice, and possibility. As Professor Agyeman said, let's aim to build these dreams of a better tomorrow with our head in the clouds but feet on the ground.
