Statement on
Charlottesville
The Cyberhood's mission is to encourage critical
thinking about the plight of communities of color, conditions in the inner
city, and the problems of low-wage workers. The website's goal is to
connect students, scholars, practitioners, and activists from across the racial
and class divide in order to build meaningful relationships. It is our belief
that the building of such connections will strengthen the struggle to
understand and transform inner cities and the metropolitan regions of which
they are a part.
In keeping with the Cyberhood's mission, we condemn
recent instances of violence spurred by racism, anti-Semitism, and hatred in
Charlottesville, VA. We see these views as symptomatic of more general forms of
intolerance and discrimination that are detrimental to historically disenfranchised
groups in our society. To counter these views, we stand in solidarity with those
who seek to expose bigotry and intolerance. We encourage public discourse aimed
at their eradication and reaffirm the Cyberhood as an instrument to reach this
end.

Special Announcement
UPSILON SIGMA (ΥΣ)
A New Student
Recognition and
Professional
Development Opportunity
The Urban Affairs Association has established the first international
honor society to recognize the academic achievements of undergraduate and graduate
students pursuing degrees in urban studies and related
fields.
Urban Studies is a broad umbrella term for academic programs and research
that focus on the social, political, economic, spatial, physical,
historical, cultural, and environmental dynamics of urban contexts.
Elements of urban studies can be found in several different disciplines,
as well as within explicitly interdisciplinary fields such as urban
affairs and urban planning. Given the varied academic homes for urban
studies, eligibility for participation in the Society will be judged on
the basis of individual program attributes.
We invite applications
from academic units to establish chapters of Upsilon Sigma.
Each year, there will be two application periods, one in the Fall, and
the second in the Spring. For the 2018 calendar year, we have established
