For the first time in history, the majority of humans live in cities. Ours is an urban millennium. But cities are not just where we live, they are our home. What does this mean? How has the very concept of home from the concept of neighborhood to understandings of citizenship changed? This panel, headed by Ling Fan of the China Central Academy of Fine Arts, takes a long look at the political, economic and cultural influences that have shaped struggles over the question of belonging. Panelists are Gyan Prakash, Princeton University; Janet Chen, Princeton University; and Kamran Asdar Ali, University of Texas, Austin.
