Deep under the streets of Copenhagen, I’m digging through the archives of my publisher Gyldendal to find photos for my new book on Iran’s modern history (at Gyldendal)

Hvis du er interesseret i Iran så kig ind på denne facebookside hvor jeg de næste seks måneder - som optakt til udgivelsen af min nye bog på Gyldendal - poster små spændende fortællinger om de personer, steder og begivenheder, der har formet det moderne Iran.

Over three years ago, I developed an idea with my old business partner Frederik: to combine our academic interest in urban theory with our practical know-how of cultural production in relation to the built environment. The idea turned into a unique, experimental summer school on ‘Urban Culture in Theory and Action’.

Taking the university into the streets for two intense weeks, we ask students to imagine themselves as cultural producers/co-creators instead of merely cultural analysts. Witnessing the creativity unleashed in that process is a privilege.

Each summer school has received overwhelmingly positive feedback from students and gained wide acclaim in the university world as a “best practice” case of innovation in teaching.

2018 will be the fourth year and we’re working hard to make it an optimal learning experience for MA-level students from around the world. Please help us spread the word among your (fellow) students - tell them to come to Copenhagen for a hands-on DIY experience of a lifetime.

Deadline for applications: 1st of April 2018.

Getting ready next workshop for our Urban Culture in Theory in this cool community centre in Copenhagen South Harbour. The workshop is organized by BYLYD (CITYSOUND), a podcast on urban issues. Students are going to use recorders to try to capture the soundscape and/or vernacular of the district. Hands-on urban studies! (at SydhavnsGade)
