The Bartlett welcomes four Visiting Research Fellows
The Bartlett is pleased to welcome four Visiting Research Fellows who will join the faculty from January to April 2014.
The new Fellows join The Bartlett to conduct research on the theme of Sustainable Cities, a UCL Grand Challenge and The Bartlett's chosen research theme for 2013-14. The Visiting Fellows come from a range of institutions from across the world to bring new approaches to the theme of sustainability from an urban, social and political perspective.
Dr Andy Merrifield is a writer, social theorist and urban geographer with a PhD in Geography from the University of Oxford. During his term at The Bartlett, he will be working on Neo-Haussmannization, mentored by Michael Edwards (The Bartlett School of Planning) and Professor Murray Fraser (The Bartlett School of Architecture). Dr Merrifield will also be leading the 'Urban theory and protest: from collective consumption to predatory dispossession' series of seminars.
