Webinar: Pandemic (In)Securities: Violence and Order-Making | The Open City Initiative

Organizers: Sterre Gilsing (MSc), Dr. Martijn Oosterbaan, Dr. Kees Koonings, Utrecht University 

Date & Time: March 17, 13:00 – 15:00 (CET time) 

In which ways do authoritative (state and non-state) actors respond to the Covid-19 pandemic in so-called ‘urban margins’? In this webinar we will present the collaborative ethnographic research that we have carried out in the last eight months across eight different urban centers from the global South. The presentations will focus on pertinent issues that have emerged from the various research sites, namely grassroots coping strategies, policing practices, and governance discourses. By bringing together examples from diverse urban margins, we aim to draw out the various ways in which governments, local organizations and criminal actors have coped with the challenges of our current times.

In this Webinar, Murtala Ibrahim (Utrecht University) will speak about COVID-19, Religion, and Vigilantism in the Nigerian City of Jos. For more information see: https://bit.ly/3kWWpSA
