Night Scenes roundtables - virtual events

Night Scenes is a series of events examining how night spaces have been imagined, produced, experienced and narrated in European cities by communities who have mobilised around particular migrant identities or histories. These events are linked to a three-year transdisciplinary European research project - NITE - exploring nocturnal public spaces in eight European cities (Aarhus, Amsterdam, Berlin, Cork, Galway, Lisbon, London, Rotterdam). The project, and events, set out to explore night-time urban settings in their complexity as sites of crisis and regeneration, memory and heritage, visibility and invisibility, community solidarity and growth, and to contribute evidence from the arts and humanities to policy and wider debates on cities at night.

Join us on consecutive days for roundtables of recent masters graduates and current doctoral researchers bring together an array of perspectives on the urban night, migration, integration and culture. These draw from a broad range of disciplinary backgrounds, theoretical frameworks and empirical investigations.

Part of the Night Scenes virtual event series, 30 April - 15 May 2020. All events are free but require registration. Links to access events will be emailed to registered attendees the day before each event. Please contact urbanlaboratory@ucl.ac.uk if you require assistance.
