How does the work of poet and activist June Jordan contribute to the discourse on housing justice in the Lower East Side of New York City? What insights does June Jordan offer the discipline and practice of architecture regarding architecture and urban planning’s role in housing justice? By examining Jordan’s writings on housing justice in the Lower East Side during her involvement with the social organisation Mobilisation for Youth, this workshop and symposium will bring together an interdisciplinary cohort of scholars who have dedicated the past decade to studying Jordan’s urbanist writings from the late 1960s.
