From 2003-05, she held the first聽SSHRC-funded postdoctoral fellowship at the School of Architecture,聽苹果淫院. Cynthia teaches interdisciplinary practice and聽method, architectural history, and seminars on spatial theory at聽Concordia, where she is presently Chair of the Department of Art聽History. Her publications explore public history and collective聽heritage in relation to the built environment and cultural landscapes聽in Canada and Europe. Cynthia has also an ongoing practice as an聽artist, through which she creates public events and art projects that聽directly connect residents with Montreal's urban history and the聽debates surrounding current development. Her talk will explore the聽idea of the city as collaborator in the creative and critical work of聽engaging multiple publics in the politics of urban change.
