The Multidisciplinary Urban Capstone Project (MUCP) is looking for a Graduate Research Assistant to lead a summer impact study evaluating our program’s trajectory from 2022 to the present.
Operating with a deliberately disruptive pedagogical style, the MUCP brings together advanced undergraduate cohorts to collaborate with community organizations, municipal actors, and NGOs to "push the needle" on deeply entrenched urban challenges. This summer, we are diving deep into how this work has shaped student alumni careers, enhanced community partner capacities, and influenced local policy.

🗓️ Term: June 15, 2026 – August 31, 2026
💰 Compensation: $7,500 total package
🎯 Ideal for: Current UofT Master’s or PhD students in Geography, Planning, Urban Studies, Public Policy, Education, or related social sciences.
🛠️ Key Skills: Program evaluation, mixed-methods research, qualitative interviewing, and a strong understanding of the Toronto urban policy landscape.
If you have outstanding written communication skills and a knack for translating rigorous data into compelling civic narratives, I would love to hear from you.
📬 To Apply - Please submit the following materials directly to me at [email protected] by June 5th, 2026:
* A cover letter detailing your relevant research experience.
* Your CV.
* A brief writing sample (maximum 2 pages, preferably demonstrating an ability to synthesize complex concepts or narratives).
⏰ Deadline to apply is June 5, 2026.

Dancing Across Time and Space: Mysticism, the City, and the Body in Tunisia
Souad Matoussi in conversation with Julius Dihstelhoff. Mystical dances in Tunisia are not relics of a distant past. They are living practices that continue to shape urban life today. Moving from sacred zawiyas to private homes and public stages, they connect bodies, memories, and the city across time. This interview with Souad Matoussi shows how these practices function as cultural resources, sites of negotiation, and forms of collective imagination. Mysticism is not outside modern urban life. It is one of the ways cities are continuously produced and reimagined.
