On May 17, Penn IUR celebrated three of its graduating Affiliated PhD Students during the annual Penn Urban Doctoral Symposium. Co-sponsored with Penn’s Urban Studies program, this symposium highlights the work of graduating urban-focused doctoral candidates. Graduates present and discuss their dissertation findings and celebrate their work with family, friends, and faculty. We are proud to congratulate the following four students who participated in this year’s symposium:
