City Forum: Laurel Mei-Singh

Dr. Laurel Mei-Singh, a devoted public scholar, serves as an Assistant Professor of Geography and Asian American Studies at The University of Texas at Austin. Her research interests include environmental justice, militarization, the relationship of race and indigeneity to histories of war, and the Pacific. 

Her current project develops a genealogy of military fences and grassroots struggles for land and livelihood in Wai'anae, a rural and heavily militarized region in Hawai'i. 

City Forum is a planning and urban issues speaker series coordinated by the UT School of Architecture's Community and Regional Planning program. The series is intended to provide a space for open, critical dialogue regarding crucial planning-related issues in Austin and elsewhere, and to encourage discussion of diversity, multiple publics, and social change.

All participants are welcome. Lunch will be provided; first-come, first-served.
