Everyday socio-environmental struggles in São Paulo’s peripheries
About this Event
Situated at the intersection of housing exclusion and environmental crisis, this research explores how everyday inhabitation processes of ecological reserves are co-produced and transformed by contemporary conditions of socio-ecological marginalisation.
Lucas Lerchs, Postdoctoral fellow at DPU Bartlett Planning Unit, former member of Laboratory of Territorial Justice (LabJuta, UFABC, São Paulo).
Speaker:
Dr Lucas Lerchs. His work examines how situated lived experience of everyday inhabitation practices co‑produce and transform contested ecologies between marginalised communities and their local environments. He is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the DPU Bartlett Planning Unit, developing a project on extended displacement and the socio‑environmental dimension of eviction, and how recurrent forms of displacement transform the city.
Chair:
Dr Giovanna Astolfo.
The talk will be followed by a 30‑minute screening of a documentary filmed in the periphery of São Paulo.
