DESCRIPTION:How are publics of protection and care defined in African citi
 es today? The effects of globalization and neoliberal policies on urban sp
 ace are well-documented. From London to Sao Paolo\, denationalisation\, pr
 ivatisation\, offshoring and cuts in state expenditure are creating enclav
 es and exclusions\, resulting in fragmented\, stratified social geographie
 s  In African cities\, where humanitarian/experimental and market logics d
 ominate the distribution of sanitation and healthcare\, this fragmentation
  is particularly stark. Privilege and crisis interrupt older contiguities\
 , delineating spaces and times of exception and defining the ‘public’ 
 of health by survival or consumption. Is it possible\, under these conditi
 ons\, to enact and imagine public health as a project of citizens\, animat
 ed in civic space?\n\n%{color:red}PLEASE NOTE THAT THE START TIME FOR THIS
