Le capitalisme racial et la production de villes coloniales de peuplement
Cet article vise à comprendre un régime de spatialité racialisante qui agit sur la répartition géographique et la mobilité professionnelle des travailleurs humanitaires africains en Afrique de l’Ouest et au Sahel. La recherche est construite à partir d’entretiens biographiques menés avec des personnes en début de carrière et avec d’autres plus expérimentées, ainsi qu’à partir de l’observation des stratégies d’apprenants d’une « école d’humanitair…
Indigenous Urbanism as an Analytic
In Canada, the terms Indigeneity and urbanity have been configured by colonialism and are often understood as antithetical. Given the baggage these terms carry, conceptualizing Indigenous urbanism in a manner that does not replicate the same problems these categories suggest is an important intellectual task for both urban and Indigenous studies. In this essay, I propose that Indigenous urbanism might be best understood as an analytic that highli…
What is planning without property? Relational practices of being and belonging
What is planning without property? This question was recently posed to me following a conference presentation. In this paper, I argue that taking this question seriously reveals unchallenged assumptions about the relationship between planning and property.

Beyond Safety
Settler colonial violence targets Indigenous women in specific ways. While urban planning has attended to issues of women’s safety, the physical dimensions of safety tend to be emphasized over the social and political causes of women’s vulnerability to violence. In this paper, we trace the relationship between settler colonialism and violence against Indigenous women. Drawing on examples from community activism and organizing, we consider how Ind…

Between concept and context
After centuries of ignoring and discounting Indigenous epistemologies, geographers and other scholars rooted in Western intellectual traditions have recently displayed a new curiosity about the insights offered by Indigenous intellectual traditions. In this article, we reflect on the ethical challenges that accompany reading Indigenous philosophy as scholars trained primarily in the Western tradition. Reading a set of texts by Michi Saagiig Nishn…
