Friday, March 10, 2023, 1 - 5 pm Sibley Auditorium, Bechtel Center, UC Berkeley Campus More information and symposium agenda here.  Also sponsored and organized by: the Institute of Transportation Studies (UC Berkeley), Departamento de Urbanística y Ordenación del Territorio (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid), Department of City and Regional Planning (UC Berkeley), and the Institute for European Studies ABOUT GMS The Global Metropolitan Studies Program was established as a field of study at UC Berkeley to address major transformations in cities around the world, and to change how we study cities from a multidisciplinary perspective. Urbanization brings a range of new political configurations and challenges — ecological crises, processes of democratization and de-democratization, urban marginality, and emergent strategies of recognition and resistance. Global Metropolitan Studies is a community of scholars across disciplines at Berkeley that investigates these new challenges and politics of the new urban century.   Bringing together numerous faculty, this multidisciplinary endeavor supports research and houses graduate curricula. GMS sponsors a Designated Emphasis, a certificate program to support Ph.D. scholarship in the field. It is one of a handful of Designated Emphases selected by the UC Berkeley campus to mark a new generation of scholarship and to consolidate an emerging academic field. GMS also supports interdisciplinary research communities with research funding opportunities and by sponsoring student groups.
