The Anti-colonial Planner and Ethical Space
Room L1060
Admission is free, everyone welcome

There are many professions actively engaged in the planning, building and managing of urban spaces. Among these professions, Planners in particular have taken up the call to understand their role in perpetuating the harms of colonization, and to consider their role in reconciliation. This presentation explores what it means to be an anti-colonial Planner and to build a practice of ethical space.

Perry Stein is a Registered Professional Planner, alumnus of Simon Fraser University (MA, Latin American Studies, '11) and the University of Lethbridge (BA, Urban and Regional Studies, '09), where he is also a member of the Alumni Honour Society. Learn more about the speaker
