A public lecture about Dr. Till’s ethnographic research on place-making, memory, and social justice activities in cities wounded by state-perpetuated violence, including Berlin, Germany, Cape Town, South Africa, and Minneapolis, USA.

Karen E. Till is Associate Professor in Urban Affairs and Planning, and Government and International Affairs at Virginia Tech. Her research and creative practice explores place-making, personal and social memory, urban design, and the politics of public space, particularly in cities marked by difficult national pasts.

She is author of The New Berlin: Memory, Politics, Place and the co-edited volume, Textures of Place: Rethinking Humanist Geographies, as well as numerous articles, book chapters, and exhibition catalogue essays. She is currently working on two book-length projects, Interim Space and Remnant East Berlin.
