Call for Papers – Symposium Settling in the Self-Built City: South–South Migration and Urban Borderscapes 5–6 November 2026, Amsterdam, the Netherlands The UvA invites submissions for a two-day symposium linked to the project Contesting Urban Borderscapes in Latin America (www.cedla.nl/urban-project). The event will take place at the city-centre campus, with sessions at the Allard Pierson Museum. The symposium focuses on the social dynamics of self-built neighbourhoods in Latin America receiving migrants from neighbouring countries, with case studies in Medellín and San José. We welcome contributions addressing South–South migration, community governance, social integration and exclusion, memory and narrative, and processes of bordering and symbolic boundaries. Please submit an abstract (max. 250 words). Selected papers will be considered for a special issue, so we encourage original, unpublished work. The symposium will be held in person. Meals are included, and two travel grants are available for scholars from low-income countries. The programme will close with a public keynote and exhibition. Deadline: 1 May 2026 Submissions: [email protected] / Isabelle Mollinger Enquiries: [email protected] / Christien Klaufus #CallForPapers #CFP #UrbanStudies #MigrationStudies #HumanGeography CEDLA (University of Amsterdam)

Democracy is slow, but that's a feature, not a bug!

Working on a hypothetical thought experiment: replacing "Benevolent Dictator" with "Benevolent Leader" for open source communities. The difference? Leaders can be voted out.

The model: Leader holds 20% voting power. Three committees split 80%:

Technical (those who build and understand systems)

Humanities (those who ask "why?" and "what does it mean?")

People's (those who actually use what we build)

Why these three? Tech fails when engineers build alone. We need philosophers questioning ethics and implications. Users explaining real needs, not imagined ones. That friction creates wisdom.

Not sharing the full framework yet, but collecting governance stories. What worked in your projects? What failed? How did transitions from BDFL go?
Especially interested in #Django #Python experiences.

Reply/DM freely.

Looking for messy reality, not theory.
