With the organisation of a two-day workshop, the Amsterdam Centre for Urban History and Centre for Urban Studies aim to bring together academics from the fields of urban geography, urban history and other urban studies-related subdisciplines to develop long-term perspectives on urban displacement, social transformation and resistance.
Programme
- Guided city walk through the Jordaan
- Keynote lecture by Suleiman Osman: 'The Historical Pitfalls of Gentrification'. Gentrification is one of the most contentious issues in cities around the globe today. But does it have a history? Five decades after sociologist Ruth Glass coined the term in 1964, gentrification is beginning to attract more attention from historians. But the hotly contested word presents several potential pitfalls for historical analysis. This talk will introduce some of these pitfalls and offer potential paths toward forging a “history of gentrification”.
- Paper Sessions by Manuel Aalbers, Daniel Sorando, Aimée Albers, Marianne Klerk, Philip Lawton, Andreas Kunzi, Giovanni Semi, Magda Bolzoni, Remco Vermeulen, Giacomo Salerno and Greta Suveges
