>
> UN-Habitat, The United Nations Human Settlements Programme, concluded that
> more than one billion people live without any security of tenure in
> informal settlements in developing countries. While most developed
> countries have records that cover most of their territories, very few
> countries in the Global South have such records. This discrepancy
> underscores the unjust politics of landownership and land distribution
> that contributed to an inequitable world politics of social progress and
> human development.
>
>
> Topics of inquiry can include but are not limited to:
>
> How race relations impact the accessibility to land and land distribution
> in marginalized communities?
>
> How ethnic minority define their rights and access to land in the age of
> neo-liberalism?
>
> In which ways, equal citizenship status has been affected by access to
> land and land rights in countries across the Global South?
>
> How we can assess the concept of collective landownership and access to
> land that reside within indigenous peoples cosmovision vs. individualized
> notion of ownership that increasingly informs the scrambling attitude of
> corporations to acquire land in the Global South?
>
> How do these issues continue to play out in the United States in
> particular and North America in general? In Europe? How we can envision
> alternative and practical aspect of a democratic and collective
> community-based ownership and access to land, and what that
> conceptualization would looks like in the age of economic globalization?
>
> The effectiveness of land-certification projects and other pro-poor
> legislation for racial and ethnic minorities.
