Internationalizing urban theory: Toward collaboration

This commentary responds to Jennifer Robinson's argument about internationalizing urban theory by focusing on the ways that connections across cities and space may be rethought to include non-academics and non-English speakers. I suggest that urban research may learn from other fields such as migration studies to enhance comparative methods. Collaborations, in particular those advocated by transnational feminist research and activism, provide useful avenues toward further internationalizing and advancing progressive political agendas in urban theory.
