Mike Soron is a critical urbanist, researcher, writer, and organizer based in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Mike is completing a Masters in Urban Studies at Simon Fraser University, researching carbon control, environmental governance and economic development strategy in North American cities.
Topics of interest include the converging political, ecological and economic crises and the ways people and communities respond and work to build (or not build) peaceful and just communities at different scales. Other topics include: military-corporate responses to urban and environmental crises, resource depletion and management, green neoliberalism and "no-growth" economic development.
Mike walks and considers this to be absolutely central to life and community. The automobile is his nemesis (along with its allies in state-supported road and fossil-fuel networks) and he works to end this century-long assault on people, cities and the planet. (But no hard feelings).
Mike Twitters, but less frequently than he used to. He is micro-blogging his research interests.
Questions? Wonderful. Please send him an email.
