\u201cWe gats to double our hustle\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

Taking seriously Thieme\u2019s (2025) call for \u201chustle studies\u201d, 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\u00a0et al\u00a0<\/i>(2023) and uses an \u201curban way of life as survival\u201d 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).\u00a0This 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).\u00a0I thus argue that considering hustling as a form of survival invites us to move beyond spatializing hustle to the margins.<\/p>\n

Grace Adeniyi-Ogunyankin<\/b>\u00a0is the Queen\u2019s National Scholar in Black Geographies and the Canada Research Chair in Youth and African Urban Futures at Queen\u2019s 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.\u00a0Her 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.<\/p>\n
