19th Annual Chris Gray Memorial Lecture: Imagine Lagos

Urban questions have taken on a new urgency, as cities like Lagos grow faster and more intensely, seemingly every day. But how should we understand the ways the past shaped and produced this present? And how can, or should we, write and mapthe histories of people rooted in oral cultures? This presentation explores the premise that reading Lagos’s streets shapes the ways to ask, analyze and frame nineteenth-century narratives of the city. By drawing new maps of Lagos and the lagoon, Dr. Ademide Adelusi-Adeluyi transcribes the answers to these questions as they were understood and framed in the city’s social geography.

A book signing will follow the presentation.
