Event Description
This panel brings together multiple and new perspectives on Philadelphia's spaces, as they are imagined, lived and reborn. It features:
Mary Seton Corboy, co-founder of Greensgrow Farms, the nationally recognized leader in urban farming. Greensgrow Farms comprises a nursery, a farm stand and a 600-member Community Supported Agriculture program, all housed on one acre in Philadelphia's Kensington neighborhood, the former site of a galvanized steel plant.
Dr. Amy Hillier, assistant professor in city and regional planning in Penn's School of Design. Professor Hillier's research applies geographic information systems (GIS) and spatial analysis methods to housing and health topics. She directs the Mapping the Du Bois Philadelphia Negro , a curriculum, research, and outreach project aimed
at recreating W.E.B. Du Bois' 1896 foot survey of downtown Philadelphia using GIS.
Dr. Rickie Sanders, professor of geography and urban studies at Temple University.
Professor Sanders' research centers on issues of gender, race and class in geography education. Her photography of the city was featured in a recent exhibit, "Images of the City: An Exploration of Geographic Concepts on the Urban Landscape".
The panel will be moderated by Kenneth Finkel, distinguished lecturer in Temple's American studies program.
Temple Gallery will be displaying a range of artworks, artifacts and city planning materials to complement the discussion. |
