UMA 1 Spring Term
This activity was part of my assignment as Affiliated researcher within the DTST research project (Digital Tools for Social Transformation), a collaboration between Umeå School of Architecture and Rise Interactive Institute. In that context, I joined UMA first course as guest tutor during the Spring Term 2017. Before that I had given a public lecture in November 2016 and be guest critic in December 2016.
UMA1 was coordinated by Amalia Katopidis together with Sara Thor and Toms Kokins. The course content was already set up, consisting on a project around Umeå Train Station. My contribution included a lecture on radical cartography at the beginning of the term. I tutored a group of 20 students from all parts across Sweden (between a group of almost 80 students).
The results of the tutoring were very satisfactory. I both share some of my knowledge and learnt myself a lot. I had the chance to discover an exciting academic environment and to meet an excellent crew of Swedish and international teachers, and be an active part of an exciting pedagogic project and fine-tuned learning environment, as defined in the article “A day at the School of Architecture” in the June issue of Umeå University magazine AKTUM.
