Although there’s widespread acknowledgement of the incomparable range and radicality of Davis\, whose oeuvre encompasses urba nization\, political ecology and class struggle\, the extraordinary schola rly achievement of this former meat cutter\, truck driver\, Getty Scholar and MacArthur Fellow as a historian\, journalist and editor of New Left Re view remains to be adequately assessed. I therefore argue that Davis’s wri tings\, of inherent interest to geographers\, planners and activists\, are distinguished by his Marxist theoretical sensibility and art of storytell ing.\n\nSpeaker: Kanishka Goonewardena\, Professor\, Department of Geograp hy and Planning\, University of Toronto\n\n \n DTSTART:20221007T160000Z DTEND:20221007T170000Z LOCATION:Room 426\, Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B9\, 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Kanishka Goonewardena (University of Toronto) - Mike Davis as Theor etician and Storyteller URL:/geography/channels/event/kanishka-goonewardena-un iversity-toronto-mike-davis-theoretician-and-storyteller-340645 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
