Join us for a book discussion featuring Benjamin Bradlow, Assistant Professor of Sociology and International Affairs at Princeton University. His new book focuses on the contrasts of São Paulo & Johannesburg in their development as megacities with fairly new democracies and how they have dealt with issues of inequality, administration, and how social movements impacted their development.

Mimi Sheller, Dean of The Global School at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and Marcus Walton, Assistant Professor of Political Science at Boston University, will serve as discussants, joining Professor Bradlow’s talk on the major themes in his new book.

This event is a collaboration between the Initiative on Cities and the Boston Urban Salon, an urban seminar series of Boston area urban experts affiliated with universities and institutes in the area.
