2022 Scholar-in-Residence Lecture Online
Social Sculpture: A Neighborhood Tradition
In partnership with Rice University's Center for Engaged Research and Collaborative Learning (CERCL), The Gregory School is pleased to present our 2022 Scholar-in-Residence, Dr. Willie Wright. Dr. Wright is an Assistant Professor of Geography at the University of Florida. His research interest includes the study of social movements and urban Black geographies. He has published in the Annals of the American Association of Geographers, City & Society, and The Black Scholar. In 2021, he co-curated Project Row Houses "Round 52: Gulf Coast Anthropocene," a collection of art interrogating the impact of climate change throughout the Gulf Coast South. His forthcoming manuscript, Deciphering Dowling Street: Place and Public Art Post-Project Row Houses, interrogates the growth of Black artists in Third Ward in the aftermath of Project Row Houses.
