Ruderal Ecologies with Bettina Stoetzer, 3/5
Aidekman Arts Center
40 Talbot Avenue
Join us for a special conversation with Bettina Stoetzer (MIT) for a conversation of her recent book, Ruderal City: Ecologies of Migration, Race, and Urban Nature.
Bettina Stoetzer is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her research focuses on the intersections of ecology, globalization, and social inequality in Europe. Bettina received her M.A. in Sociology, Anthropology and Media Studies from the University of Goettingen and completed her Ph.D. in Anthropology at the University of California Santa Cruz in 2011. Before coming to MIT, she was a Harper Fellow in the Society of Fellows at the University of Chicago. Bettina’s book, Ruderal City: Ecologies of Migration, Race, and Urban Nature (Duke University Press, 2022), draws on fieldwork with ecologists, migrant communities, nature enthusiasts and other Berlin residents to illustrate how human-environment relations have become a key register through which urban citizenship is articulated in contemporary Europe.
