A reference collection of work worth knowing about — not a competition.

There is no prize, no ranking, and no jury verdict. We are not screening for the “best” thesis; we are building a reference collection of student research that took spatial justice seriously. If your thesis speaks to how space produces, reflects, or contests injustice, we want to hear from you.

• Students who have completed or are about to complete a bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral thesis at any university or research institution, anywhere in the world.
• Any disciplinary background is welcome, provided the thesis engages with spatial justice — including spatial planning, urbanism, architecture, geography, sociology, political science, law, public health, environmental studies, and related fields.
• We particularly encourage submissions grounded in a specific place, community, or empirical case, rather than purely theoretical work.

Have these ready before you start the form.

Submissions are collected through a short form. There is no deadline — this is a rolling call, and we review submissions on an ongoing basis.

The Centre reviews submissions for thematic relevance to spatial justice. Theses that fit are added, in batches, to a dedicated showcase page on just-city.org, where they appear with their abstract, author and institution, and a link to the full text. We do not edit or peer-review the work itself — the showcase simply points readers to where the full thesis can be read.
