The Workshop on “Labouring Urban Infrastructures” was conceived after a group of researchers met and presented in an International Symposium– “Infrastructures for Troubled Times”, organized by University of Brighton’s Centre for Spatial Environment & Cultural Politics, on 06th June 2018. Building on the scholarly discussions at this symposium, the researchers found labour to be a comparatively understudied aspect of infrastructural materialities, politics, and livelihoods, and found common shared ideas within their research networks. As an invite-only workshop, Labouring Urban Infrastructures workshop was aimed at bringing together postgraduate and early career scholars from a variety of disciplines and spaces of research. Working collaboratively, the participants produced the following output– a digital magazine which translates research into narrative form and speaks to academic, activist, and policy audiences.
Urban Morphosis Lab was represented through participation of Dr. Anshika Suri.
