SUMMARY:HGRC Online seminar Thursday 5 June : Grace Adeniyi-Ogunyankin\, Queens University
DESCRIPTION:You are warmly welcome to join the online Human Geography Research Cluster seminar on Thursday 5 June 13.00-14.00 (Teams link below). Grace Adeniyi-Ogunyankin\, Queens University will present: \n“We gats to double our hustle” \nTaking seriously Thieme’s (2025) call for “hustle studies”\, I present vignettes from Lagos and Ibadan\, Nigeria that clearly illuminate the diversity of hustle practices among urban dwellers\, particularly youth. My presentation thinks with Guma et al (2023) and uses an “urban way of life as survival” approach which considers survival as a universal and multifaceted phenomenon that constitutes a way of life\, a way of living\, and a way of being in the city (p. 276). This approach provides a more comprehensive and holistic view of urban life\, focusing not just on the urban poor but also the working class\, middle income\, and affluent residents (p. 280). I thus argue that considering hustling as a form of survival invites us to move beyond spatializing hustle to the margins. \n\nGrace Adeniyi-Ogunyankin is the Queen’s National Scholar in Black Geographies and the Canada Research Chair in Youth and African Urban Futures at Queen’s University. She is jointly appointed\, as an Associate Professor\, to the Department of Geography and Planning and the Department of Gender Studies. The bulk of her research is concerned with how the African urban future is portrayed in popular culture and imagined by urban dwellers\, and politicians/policy makers. To this end\, she is interested in the politics of identity\, place-making\, spatial inequality\, and everyday resistance. Her current ethnographic research explores the relationship between youth\, labour and urban transformation in Ibadan and Lagos\, Nigeria. She is intrigued by the role that intersections of neoliberal urban change\, technology\, global consumer culture and labour play in (re)configuring youth identity and providing opportunities for youth to orient themselves towards the future. Her research focus on popular culture explores the issues of race and representation and the use of Afrofuturism in geographic projects that address the colonial politics of difference. \n\n________________________________________________________________________________ \nMicrosoft Teams Need help? \nJoin the meeting now \nMeeting ID: 390 147 675 282 \nPasscode: x8396Du2 \n\n\n\nDial in by phone \n+44 20 7660 8335\,\,693260690# United Kingdom\, City of London \nFind a local number \nPhone conference ID: 693 260 690# \nFor organisers: Meeting options| Reset dial-in PIN \nUniversity of Reading
