Internships
A centre with a long-term pedagogic plan starts with an interdisciplinary focus on frames like urban ecology, urban geography, urban planning, political ecology and urban spatiality. The urban elective courses students are enrolled in are conceived of as introductions and orientations to urban studies. Urban spatiality and social configurations emerge as key research and exploratory theme for the core research group involved with the centre. The PhD scholars and the post-doctoral fellows continuously bring in novel perspectives.
