Elena Trubina

Elena Trubina is a professor of social theory and philosophy at the Ural Federal University. She also leads there the Center for Global Urbanism co-founded in 2017 with Martin Müller. Her book Gorod v teorii [City in Theory] took issue with the Eurocentrism of urban theories and has become widely read and used in universities and offices across the post-socialist space. She draws on interdisciplinary approaches from philosophy, anthropology and geography to think about the ways in which theories travel and disciplines interact and how best to analyse the links between imagination and memory, subjectivities and materialities, cultures and economies, the normative and the analytical.
