Profile

Martha Radice is a social anthropologist whose work focuses on the social, spatial and cultural dynamics of cities. For her doctoral research, she investigated public sociability, the mobilization of ethnicity and the production of space in commercial streets in multiethnic neighbourhoods in Montréal. She is extending this work to explore diversity and inclusion in urban public spaces in the Atlantic region. Her ongoing areas of interest are urban anthropology, the anthropology of space and place, immigration and interethnic relations, theories of cosmopolitanism, moral economies and ethnographic methods. She is also involved in interdisciplinary and applied research, having worked on projects evaluating social inclusion in secondary schools and police-community relations in the UK. She is currently working with Solomon Nagler and Kim Morgan at NSCAD University on a research-creation project combining art and anthropology (presented here).

Dr Radice has published Feeling Comfortable?: The Urban Experience of Anglo-Montrealers (Presses de l’Université Laval, 2000), written or co-authored several book chapters on commercial streets, cosmopolitanism and multicultural heritage in urban public space and co-edited with Xavier Leloup Les nouveaux territoires de l’ethnicité (Presses de l’Université Laval, 2008).
