SPEAKER: Derek H. Alderman
In his talk, “Teaching for Place Name Change on University Campuses: On Being Reflexive, Reparative, and Regenerative,” University of Tennessee Professor
of Geography Derek H. Alderman will consider college classrooms as important workspaces for critiquing traditional place naming practices and developing the civic imagination necessary to plan an inclusive and just campus geography. He will offer three frameworks
for students to interrogate named spaces within their own universities (landscape backstories, affective entanglements, and procedural justice)—all with the hope of institutions of higher learning becoming more reflexive, reparative, and regenerative in how
they name and make places.
