Global Cities Student Research Summit
On March 5th, the Georgetown Global Cities Initiative will convene its third annual Student Research Summit where students from across University come together to celebrate urban and place-based research and build interdisciplinary networks. The key objectives of the Summit are to champion, elevate and advance student-driven urban research across the entire University and build a multi-disciplinary supportive network by doing so. After receiving student proposals from nearly all schools at Georgetown and a competitive selection process, we have put together a dynamic and exciting agenda.
Following opening remarks from Professor Uwe Brandes, Faculty Director of the GGCI, selected students will offer brief presentations on their work pertaining to global urbanization divided in four panels and a lightning round: Covid and Cities; Cities and Public Health; Forces of Change in Global Urbanization; Social Equity Across DC’s Metropolitan Landscape; Digital Disruption in the City). Responses and comments will be offered by selected student respondents, GGCI Visiting Fellow Angela Glover Blackwell and Georgetown Faculty Members and Researchers.
