Dr Juliana Gonçalves
IAS Summit: Rethinking Urban Inequalities
TU Delft
Juliana Gonçalves is currently an Assistant Professor in the section of Spatial Planning and Strategy of the Department of Urbanism at TU Delft. She is also the lead of the Citizen Voice Initiative, co-founder of the Citizens Collective and a member of the Centre for the Just City, the TU Delft Climate Action Program, and the TU Delft Climate Safety & Security centre (CaSS).
With academic training in Mechanical Engineering (Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil) and Energy & Environment (Sorbonne, France), a PhD in Civil Engineering (KU Leuven, Belgium), and a postdoctoral fellowship on socio-spatial inequalities (TU Delft, The Netherlands), her transdisciplinary journey has equipped her to engage critically with the ways space, knowledge, and technology intersect in shaping collective imaginaries.
Juliana’s most recent research focuses on the potential of collective action and prefigurative politics for transformative change. She looks at this question from a critical spatial perspective, drawing from feminist and decolonial scholarship.
During their IAS Fellowship Dr Gonçalves will be collaborating with Professor Trivik Verma from the Department of Geography and Environment.
