1 DAVID DE LA PEÑA CURRICULUM VITAE (March 2012) Department of Human Ecology University of California, Davis 131 Hunt Hall, One Shields Avenue Davis, California (530) EDUCATION Ph.D., Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning Spring 2013 University of California, Berkeley Dissertation: Experiments in Participatory Urbanism: Reform and Autogestión as Emerging Forms of Urban Activism in Barcelona This research examines civic engagement in urban design through ethnographic case studies of design collectives that are intervening in the production of urban landscapes via reform activism and DIY self- management (autogestión). It provides a framework for evaluating modalities of urban activism in which both discursive and material actions are employed to improve institutions and to foment autonomous, grassroots collectivities. It views reform and experimentation as complementary approaches that are urgently needed to empower citizens in the making of socially and ecologically healthy cities.
