3. ****Call for applications: The Urban Climate Finance Network 2021-2022 Masterclass Series Masterclass Series Aims Participants will have the opportunity to exchange with academics who have been at the forefront of critical urban theory-building in relation to three main themes: 1) thinking relationally and comparatively; 2) thinking through the materiality of climate action and climate finance in cities; and 3) racial capitalism and climate justice in cities. Through lectures, panel discussions, breakout sessions, and other methods, participants will be invited to interrogate and rethink the relationships between finance, climate action, and urban transformations. Who can participate? We welcome applications from self-defined early career scholars (e.g. doctoral, postdoctoral researchers, teaching fellows, lecturers, pre-tenure faculty etc.). The masterclass series will benefit scholars whose research contributes to rethinking the relationships between finance and climate action in cities. This includes, for instance, research on urban low-carbon transitions or climate adaptation in cities; urban infrastructure financing under climate change; informal urban economies and climate action, including adaptation efforts, low-carbon energy transitions and energy access; studies of racial capitalism and environmental injustices, etc. Your participation Places to take part in the masterclasses will be limited to ensure the quality of interactions and engagement. Participants are expected to attend all three masterclasses and to actively participate in the discussions. The schedule for the masterclasses will run from November 2021 to April 2022: Masterclass 1 â Thinking relationally: comparative theory-building for urban climate finance research (Tuesday 15th November 2021) Masterclass 2 â The urban materialities of climate finance (Tuesday 8th February 2022) Masterclass 3 â Racial capitalism, finance and climate justice in cities (Tuesday 12th April 2022) (full masterclass programme available at https://www.urbanclifi.com/masterclasses-cfp) If you are interested in participating in the masterclasses, please send us a short paragraph (max. 400 words) detailing (a) your research interests and (b) your motivation for participating in the masterclasses by Sept 30th 2021 to urbanclifi@gmail.com. We will notify accepted participants by mid October. We are particularly eager to receive expressions of interest from early career researchers based in institutions and locations that remain underrepresented in current scholarship on finance and urban climate action. To optimise accessibility across time zones, masterclasses will be hosted at staggered times. Additionally, funds will be allocated to provide internet connection boosters to participants as needed. |
