To celebrate the publication of C.P. Pow: Selected Essays, and in support of @urbanstudiesfoundation.org, I organised this online salon to read and discuss C.P. Pow's work. We will focus on the aesthetic, ecological, and sensory politics in urban China. Join us if you are interested in these topics!

[Image description: Flyer with USF logo and the quote: "We focus on three aspects particularly: firstly, the historical and contemporary debates on the connection between overlookedness and ordinariness; secondly, counter-overlooking as an emerging, collectivising agenda in global urban studies, especially around the knowledge-policy-justice nexus; thirdly, mapping the overlooked urban conditions and interrogating the ethos and praxis of overlooked/ness and their planning implications." on a picture of Bandung via flikr by Haifee.]
