Speaker:

Prof Ayona Datta
Professor of Human Geography,
University College London, England

Ayona Datta is Professor of human geography at University College London. Her broad research interests are in postcolonial urbanism, smart cities, gender citizenship, and regional futures.  Her research is set in the ethos of co-production with grassroots communities using digital/mapping, visual and participatory research methods to develop and build gendered capacity in the digital and urban margins. Her research has contributed to understanding how the ‘digital revolution’ in the global south has transformed everyday urban and gendered geographies.

She is Editor of the internationally refereed journal Urban Geography and is also on editorial boards of several international journals: Antipode; Dialogues in Human Geography; Digital Geography and Society; Society and Space; and Territory, Politics and Governance. In 2019, she received the Busk Medal from the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) for her work on smart cities.
