Today in Geography - Marking National Homeless Persons Memorial Day with Stephen Przybylinski

Today we welcomed Stephen Przybylinski, a professor of urban and political geography in the ⁠Department of Geography, Environment, and Spatial Sciences at Michigan State University. Dr. Przybylinski is broadly interested in the ways in which liberal democracies both enable injustices and how such political systems mediate responses to injustices within their frameworks. Before arriving at MSU, he had a two-year post-doctoral position at Uppsala University, where he was a researcher on the JustNorth project, a Horizon 2020 project examining the ethical implications of Arctic development. Dr. Przybylinski holds a Ph.D. in geography from Syracuse University, an MA in geography from Portland State University, and a BA in urban studies and geography from the University of Minnesota. Dr. Przybylinski discussed his research as well as National Homeless Persons Memorial Day, an event on or near the winter solstice (December 21st) coordinated by national organizations, including the National Coalition for the Homeless, the National Health Care for the Homeless Council, and the National Consumer Advisory Board, which remembers those who died homeless in the past year. If you would like to learn more about Dr. Przybylinski’s research, please see his book The Injustice of Property: Homeless Encampments and the Limits of Liberalism, available from University of Georgia Press.
