Erick Moreno Superlano '22 and BCB faculty Dr. Ayşe Çavdar featured on recent episodes of Spatial Delight

The latest episode of Spatial Delight — a podcast created by BCB professor of migration studies Agata Lisiak — is written and hosted by Erick Moreno Superlano (’22). In this Spanish-language episode titled “Geometrías del Poder,” Erick talks about the concept of power geometries developed by British geographer Doreen Massey, and how it was adopted by Hugo Chávez as one of the five engines of the Bolivarian revolution. Massey regarded Venezuela’s communal councils as a promising experiment to imbue people with more political power. Erick talks to María Eugenia Freitez (activist, researcher, and writer) and Reinaldo Iturriza (activist, writer, and Venezuela’s former Minister of Popular Power for Communes and Social Protection) to evaluate how successful this political initiative has been. 

An earlier episode, titled “Cities for the Many Not the Few, features a conversation with BCB faculty Dr. Ayşe Çavdar about mass housing projects in Turkey. That episode looks at different struggles to make cities more livable – and more just – for the many, not the few. How do we agree on what’s best for our cities? How do we create open, inclusive, enjoyable spaces? Who takes charge? We need carefully designed infrastructure to make cities livable for all, and urban design itself is also a hugely political issue. Besides their conversation with Çavdar, Lisiak and her co-host for this episode, urban scholar Dr. Anna Richter, speak to geographer Prof. Ash Amin (Cambridge University) about urban commons and social empowerment and to urban scholar Dr. Carmel Christy K J (University of Delhi) about the intersections of social and environmental justice in the port city of Kochi in the Indian state of Kerala. 

Spatial Delight is a ten-part podcast about the politics of space inspired by British geographer Doreen Massey. It is funded by the Volkswagen Foundation and hosted by the Sociological Review Foundation. Erick’s episode was co-funded by the Experimental Humanities Collaborative Network.

You can listen to Spatial Delight on any podcast app or here.
