Ioanna Theocharopoulou, Assistant Professor, SCE, will be participating in the “Theatrum Mundi / The Global Street” conference at Columbia University this Friday, October 12, 2012. The conference is part of a new urban forum that “seeks to understand what brings life to a city, particularly in its public places and asks how these might be better designed.”

The conference is convened by Saskia Sassen, Robert S. Lynd Professor of Sociology and Co-Chair of The Committee on Global Thought, Columbia University, and Richard Sennett, Professor of Sociology, New York University and the London School of Economics and Political Science.

The conference will be co-hosted by the Committee on Global Thought at Columbia and by New York University.
