Join the Boston University Department of Sociology and Initiative on Cities for a special session of the Urban Inequalities Workshop featuring Dr. Daniel T. O’Brien’s (Northeastern University) latest book, The Pointillistic City (MIT Press, 2025), which provides ‘a new paradigm of research, policy, and practice that acknowledges the multiple scales at which we live every day’.
Dr. O’Brien, alongside Dr. Yesim Sungu-Eryilmaz, Director of City Planning & Urban Affairs at Metropolitan College, Boston University, and Dr. Steven Schmidt, Assistant Professor of Sociology at BU, will launch the meeting with a panel discussion of the book, and then we will open the conversation.
Please RSVP to amward@bu.edu to receive a copy of the introduction, which attendees can read in advance of the discussion.
Cookies and coffee will be provided.
