African Centre for Cities at the University of Cape Town

Anna Selmeczi is a Senior Lecturer and Programme Convener: MPhil in Southern Urbanism, at the African Centre for Cities. Her urban studies research is grounded in social and political theory, and focuses on the connections between orders of urban space and knowledge production, and how various forms of popular politics contest and change these orders.
Extending these themes through the lens of her teaching practice over the last few years, she’s also been thinking about the transformative and even emancipatory possibilities of pedagogical and research methods that emerge through creative experimentation.
