The Gittell Urban Studies Collective engages communities, fellow scholars, and activists focused on issues related to cities, social justice, community participation and development, political engagement and social movements, and democratic governance, both domestically and abroad.
Anchored by the Marilyn Jacobs Gittell Endowed ChairĀ in Urban Studies, the Gittell Collective works to honor Marilyn Jacobs Gittell and build upon her legacy, through research, training and fellowship programming, and public convenings.
