Because of the volume of submissions, well-written pieces are prioritized. Length is flexible, 1000 to 2500 words is the average range. However, we will accept longer pieces.

Marieke Krijnen and Richard Pelgrim

Marieke Krijnen is a PhD-student in the Department of Conflict and Development Studies at Ghent University, Belgium, supervised by Prof. Christopher Parker and Prof. Sami Zemni. Her research focuses on processes of urban transformation in Beirut, their potential contribution to a more cosmopolitan, postcolonial urban studies, and their implications for critical theories of globalization processes, neoliberalism and space. She explores the tension field between these two theoretical frameworks, especially in relation to notions of global and local, whose reification she seeks to unsettle. She obtained her master`s degree in Arabic and Middle East Studies from the American University of Beirut in 2010 with a thesis focusing on public facilities to real estate developers in Beirut, under the direction of Prof. Mona Fawaz.

 

Richard Pelgrim studied architecture and anthropology at the American University of Beirut, graduating in June 2013. Beirut was home for the past thirteen years (and still is, really), but he is now living in his “home-country” The Netherlands, where he will be starting his masters in Human Geography. He is drawn to urban environments as objects, or better, experiences of endless complexity and intrigue, particularly in their social and political dimensions.
