To Club Geography students:
Dr. Liu will present a free lecture at the Knoxville Museum of Art coming Wednesday. Dr. Liu received her Ph.D. in geography from Rutgers University and she is interested in issues related to gender, race and migration. If you have time this coming Wednesday I encourage you to attend the lecture.
Best,
Dr. van Riemsdijk

Dr. Micheline van Riemsdijk,
We have an exciting event this Wednesday at the Knoxville Museum of Art.
Laura Liu, an assistant professor in Urban Studies at the New School
NYC - who describes her research as "urban, political, and feminist
geography; gender and ethnic studies; community and class organizing;
migration and work; and race and space" - will be presenting a free
lecture at Noon in the KMA Kramer Education Center.
We would love for everyone at UT to know this event is happening!
Would you be able to forward this message to interested faculty and students?
Thanks for your help!

the global crisis of production and skill based textile labor.

practices of social transformation at various scales, in particular,
its spatiality, contextual contingency, contradictions, and enduring

migration and work; and race and space.
