I offer up this Land Acknowledgement, acknowledging Hawaiʻi as an indigenous space whose original people are today identified as Native Hawaiians. The ʻāina on which we gather is located in the ahupuaʻa in the paeʻāina of Hawaiʻi. I recognize that her majesty Queen Liliʻuokalani yielded the Hawaiian Kingdom and these territories under duress and protest to the United States to avoid the bloodshed of her people. I further recognize that generations of Indigenous Hawaiians and their knowledge systems shaped Hawaiʻi in a sustainable way that allows me to enjoy her gifts today. For this I am truly grateful.

Can these slides be shared after the event?

The video will be posted to https://www.citiesattufts.com

And the audio will be posted as a podcast on Shareable (https://www.shareable.net/cities-tufts/) and on every podcast platform by searching for “Cities@Tufts Lectures”

Questions for Setha via chat please!

I'm curious about learning more about procedural justice - is it really a type of justice if the "procedure" has to occur in order to achieve the justice? Really enjoying this talk!

sadly neither are the Palestinians recognized for their difference in the Israeli context and often dealt with aggression

For Setha: White supremacy has created a system of “safety” in public space that relies on borders, constraints on acceptable behavior, and policing (both by actual police and by White people who act on behalf of the police - i.e. BBQ Becky). What would “safety” look like in a truly just public space? How would safety be performed, through the physical infrastructure and cultural norms?

Thank you for the presentation! How different are dynamics of public space between dense urban areas and urban areas like suburbs?

How do you balance promoting justice with public health concerns and conflicts? For example, use of the street that impedes safe pedestrian access or other uses. Is a just space one that is also safe?

this is a great conversation, is there a way to access the webinar afterwards?

Great!

Do you see control of use of a public space as best managed by a group of diverse users? Have you studied models for managing public space?

1. Ethnography is historically a long term, embedded research method conducted by a “lone ethnographer”. Can you speak to how ethnography - as both a process and a product – changes in the context of REAP and TESS?

And what would a just public space ACT like -- ie how we will act and interact to make such spaces just.

And understand that communities are not monoliths with the same views on all issues and justice. I work with residents in public housing with high rates of violence who have a wide range of perceptions that impact how they want to address issues like public drug use (shooting up; young people smoking pot) to how NYPD & NYCHA should punish people who “violate the rules” (i.e. don’t clean up after dogs, throw garbage out the window, vandalize).

There are many examples of proximity and interaction across social groups that reinforce hierarchies and inequalities. I’m wondering about solutions you have for helping to make sure this is not the case? Your point about “events” as contributing to affective atmospheres of equality reminds me of Victor Turner’s notion of “comunitas” – exceptional moments when social structures are broken down in a way that promotes community cohesion, but that ultimately serve as a safety valve that everyday and structural inequalities to persist. Do you have a sense of how to navigate outside of this? Is it possible for these exceptional moments of cross class connection to ultimately generate more inclusive societies?

^^ agree completely. We can’t oversimplify or romanticize co-programming - it can still lead to maintenance of restrictive or repressive values depending on who is leading, driving the conversation

Thank you!
