City and Contentious Politics
This initiative explores the role of current urban mobilizations and of cities as sites of contentious politics (anti-migrant, populist protest as well as migrant-refugee solidarity mobilizations). The interplay of such politics with other social manifestations such as anti-austerity protests creates a complex environment that shapes human mobility and urban narratives.
