Vanhellemont Linus

Bio

Linus Vanhellemont is currently working as postdoctoral scholar at Cosmopolis (Vrije Universiteit Brussel – a 4 Year FWO project) and visiting professor in urban geography and cultural sociology at the National University of Colombia (UNAL) and at the National University of Bolivia (UMSA). He studies the power of social imaginaries in urban & peri-urban planning conflicts in Latin America (i.e. in Peru, Bolivia and Colombia).

At Cosmopolis, beforehand, he specialised on the social geography of European Expats in Brussels and the (lacking) spatial social imaginary of the European Union’s Decentralised Capital-City Structure. In the framework of his PhD at Milano-Bicocca University (Italy) and as visiting scholar at Istanbul Sehir University (Turkey) he focussed on the role of spatial social imaginaries, discourse coalitions and triggering events in urban planning processes in Istanbul and Brussels.
