This exhibition brings together emerging scholars from a variety of schools and disciplines at Arizona State University, to showcase innovative urban PhD student research that explores all manner of spatial, historical and theoretical inquiry using visual methodologies. Unlike traditional academic venues, we aim to create an informal visual encounter between disparate urban research projects to generate new and unexpected areas of inquiry. PURL JAM highlights the shared intellectual interest in urbanism at Arizona State University, bringing together different perspectives on the nature, meaning and dynamics of urban places.
