Suleiman Osman, associate professor, american studies, at The George Washington University, specializes in U.S. urban history, the built environment, U.S. cultural and social history, and the study of race and ethnicity, with a particular focus on the way urban space both shapes and is produced by culture and politics. His book "Inventing Brownstone Brooklyn: Gentrification and the Search for Authenticity" was published by Oxford University Press in February 2011. Professor Osman is also pursuing a broader project that looks at 1970’s urban politics and culture.
The lecture is co-sponsored by the Modern U.S. History Seminar, City and Regional Planning, and the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity.
