Decolonising Sculpture for Urban Social Justice (DISCUSS)

城市公共空间战略将寻求围绕宜居和包容性城市公共空间/环境的发展和消费制定政策，从身体/私密和社区的规模（例如，种族歧视、偏见、边缘化、报道不足/失实）到城市和州（例如，体制性种族主义、敌意）和国际反应（例如，全球反种族主义运动、非殖民化进程）。该项目是高度跨学科的，借鉴了地理学，社会学，城市规划，建筑学和历史学的城市社会正义理论和方法。这包括越来越多的跨学科奖学金的代表性，包容性和身份的问题，是核心的热门城市政策和治理问题。CITIS将通过网络和知识交流，在白色玫瑰DTP的城市，环境和宜居性途径的社会科学学科和直接参与利兹市理事会的多层次利益相关者在城市政策，创造性部门和种族正义活动。因此，该项目将致力于影响广泛的城市对种族和民族不公正的反应，通过公共艺术实践和纪念活动推动一个更具包容性和公正的城市。

DISCUSS will seek to inform policies around the development and consumption of liveable and inclusive urban public spaces/environments, ranging from scales of the body/intimate and community (e.g., racial discrimination, prejudice, marginalisation, under-/misrepresentation) through to the city and state (e.g., institutional racism, hostility) and international responses (e.g., global anti-racism movements, processes of decolonisation). The project is highly interdisciplinary, drawing on urban social justice theories and methods across geography, sociology, urban planning, architecture, and history. This includes a growing body of interdisciplinary scholarship on issues of representation, inclusivity, and identity that are central to topical urban policy and governance concerns.DISCUSS will develop academic and societal impact through networking and knowledge exchange across the White Rose DTP's Cities, Environment and Liveability pathway's social science disciplines and direct engagement with Leeds City Council's multi-level stakeholders in urban policy, creative sectors and racial justice activism. Accordingly, DISCUSS will aim to impact wide urban-based responses to racial and ethnic injustice, advancing a more inclusive and just city through public-art practices and memorialisation.
