This conference wants to discuss whether, and to what extent, are the global society and space moving toward a state of generalised and planetary, if creeping, apartheid – borrowing on ideas of Agier (2014), Brenner (2013), and Yiftachel (2009).

The set of questions to discuss includes, but is not limited to:
When: 9th-11th May 2018 in Lisbon, Portugal
