Following the success of last year’s inaugural event, Disturbanist Discourse 2.0: Critical Approaches to Challenging Normalized Urban Processes seeks to engage recent alumni from across the Graduate Urban Programs at Parsons and The New School in a critical conversation around urban practices.

We continue to ask speakers to share with the larger Urban at Parsons community: How are the critical approaches learned at The New School challenging and transforming processes of city making?

The New School is at the forefront of this challenge. The 2nd Annual Disturbanist Discourse will continue the tradition of addressing this important question among our community of urban practitioners. Our mission is to cultivate a culture of practice, one that establishes trust and respect via a transdisciplinary discourse within fields of practice and amongst current students. We seek to represent a range of critical urban practitioners.
