About me

Suzanne Hall is Professor of Sociology at ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ and Head of Department. Her research and teaching explore the intersections of global migration and urban marginalisation. Suzi’s focus is on everyday claims to space and how political economies of displacement shape racial borders, migrant livelihoods, and urban multicultures. She is author of The Migrant’s Paradox (University of Minnesota Press, 2021) and City Street and Citizen (Routledge, 2012).

Research

Suzi Hall is an urban ethnographer and has practised as an architect in South Africa. Her work connects the asymmetries of global migration and urban marginalisation, exploring the racialised frameworks of citizenship and economic inequality and their everyday contestations. She is recipient of an ESRC Future Research Leaders award (2015-2017) and the Philip Leverhulme Prize in Sociology in 2017, and she gave the inaugural ‘Cities Annual Lecture’ at Birkbeck in 2022.

Suzi is part of the Urban Sociology research cluster.

Teaching and PhD supervision

Suzi teaches on the MSc City Design & Social Science programme on social and political formations of urban space, planning and design, and she convenes an undergraduate module on Racial Borderscapes.

Suzi collaborates with Huda Tayob and Thandi Loewenson on the  open-access curriculum.

She co-supervises PhD projects engaging with: the moral economy in Makka’s urban restructuring (Jawaher Al Sudairy); migrant solidarity in Istanbul (Helen MacKreath); Palestinian life and land in Jerusalem (Lucy Garbett); and reproductive injustice and racialised frictions (Babette May).
