I worked as an Editorial Assistant on this volume published by Bloomsbury in 2016 that explores innovative and experimental methodologies designed by academics, artists, activists and others to produce new knowledge about cities.

What binds the diverse collection of academic disciplines is a commitment to understanding the social, cultural and material realities of the contemporary metropolis. Through the creative juxtaposition of methodological statements and experiments the volume as a whole – edited by Ben Campkin and Ger Duijzings – captures something of the dynamic experiences, discourses and other realities that constitute today’s cities worldwide.

Going beyond the immediate research context, it also questions which methods of presentation and communication are being used to disseminate research findings, and who the findings of the research are being shared with.

I organised the book launch in December 2016 at London’s Free Word Centre, with presentations from The Guardian‘s Aditya Chakrabortty and Public Works co-founder Andreas Lang, and a number of contributors to the book.
