Summer 2014 marks the first Summer Institute in Urban Studies. It will take
place at the University of Manchester over the week 29 June to 4 July.

Open to just 25 doctoral students (usually post-fieldwork), postdoctoral
researchers, and recently appointed faculty/lecturers (normally within
three years of first continuous appointment), the Institute comprises an
intensive, week-long program of activities.

It is designed to provide participants with an in-depth understanding of
the innovatory developments and enduring controversies in urban studies, as
well as mentoring and support in the different aspects of the academic
labour process, from applying for grants to designing courses, from editing
books and special issues of journals to writing book proposals, and from
publishing in journals to working at the academic/non-academic interface.
It consists of panels, lectures, reading groups, with participants involved
in shaping the final programme.

Featured speakers are:

David Imbroscio, Professor, Department of Political Science & Public and
Urban Affairs, University of Louisville
Simon Guy, Professor, Manchester Architectural Research Centre, University
of Manchester
Loretta Lees, Professor, Department of Geography, University of Leicester
