SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:DAAS Africa Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\nand the African Studies Center for our next\n\nAFRICA WORKSHOP\n\"Practicing Reparative History: Sites and Dilemmas in Rwanda\"\n\nDelia Wendel\nAssistant Professor of Urban Studies and International Development\nMassachusetts Institute of Technology\n\nTUESDAY\, SEPT. 19\n4:00 PM\n4701 Haven Hall (DAAS Conference Room)\n\n--------\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n\nDelia Duong Ba Wendel is the Spaulding Career Development Assistant Professor of Urban Studies and International Development. Her research engages three main areas: 1) forms of community repair after conflict and disaster\; African urbanism\; and spatial politics. Her interdisciplinary work draws together Urban Studies\, Architectural History\, Cultural Geography\, and Anthropology.\n\nCurrent research builds from ten years of work in Rwanda and informs two book manuscripts in progress. Rwanda’s Genocide Heritage (forthcoming\, Duke University Press) is an intimate history of early genocide memory curation that traces relationships to nascent human rights practice in the Global South. The Ethics of Stability explores post-genocide peacebuilding as a socio-spatial endeavor\; one that is defined and challenged in the design of homes\, settlements\, and civic space. This research has been recognized by grants from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts\, the American Council of Learned Societies\, Social Science Research Council\, Harvard Center for Ethics\, and Harvard Humanitarian Initiative.\n\nDelia received a PhD in Urban Planning from Harvard University. She also holds degrees in Architecture (BArch\, Rice University)\, Cultural Geography (MSc\, University College London) and Architectural History and Theory (MDes\, Harvard GSD). In 2017-18 she was a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania's Wolf Humanities Center. Delia previously taught in UPenn's African Studies department\, the Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning departments at Harvard's Graduate School of Design\, and was an Assistant Professor in Architectural Studies at University of Edinburgh.\n\nAt MIT DUSP\, Delia directs the Planning for Peace critical collective and the Mellon Foundation and CAST funded 'Memory Atlas for Repair' research project and exhibition.\n\n--------\nFor questions about the event or to request accommodations\, please email ecnirp@umich.edu.
