City-Dwelling Bees: Urban Ecology and Urban Theory
Thursday, June 15, 7 – 8:30 PM
Austin Martin, PhD student, Geography and Urban Studies, Temple University
Although it may seem counterintuitive, cities can serve as effective havens for bees in a national landscape replete with intensive agriculture and toxic lawns. Explore the current understanding of bees in cities, including Austin Martin’s research on native bees in Detroit and its neighboring suburbs. This lecture will also illuminate existing shortcomings in urban ecological research and discuss how urban political ecology can offer a more robust understanding for future urban bee research.
