Specifically, Professor Lung-Amam will discuss her findings in her recent book The Right to Suburbia: Combating Gentrification on the Urban Edge, which investigates how marginalized communities in suburban Washington, DC have battled patterns of uneven, racialized development. The goal of the discussion will be to highlight how suburban residents have fought for the ”right to suburbia”, which refers to residents’ right to remain in their communities and benefit from urban investment. On campus, this talk will encourage student populations to reflect on the impact of suburban gentrification on marginalized communities. Through this discussion, this event will engage audiences in new research that discusses current movements for social justice in the urban context, with a particular focus on marginalized communities’ agency.
