DESCRIPTION:Guest Speaker: John Burdick is Professor of Anthropology at Syr
 acuse University.&nbsp\; In Rio de Janeiro\, advantageously-located social
  housing projects are currently experiencing unprecedented informal market
  pressure from middle class buyers. This pressure\, though largely illicit
  and irregular\, has as a major effect the deepening and aggravation of in
 tra-class difference and hierarchy among the working-class residents of so
 cial housing projects. In this tense and shifting context\, greening labor
  has emerged as a key site of struggle between segments of the working cla
 ss to control the terms of their relations to this market pressure. Indeed
 \, plants’ capacity to symbolize\, embody and enact territorial control\, 
 social status\, exchange value\, and relations with the spiritual world\, 
 make them key instruments of struggle between different segments of the wo
 rking class\, as they position themselves in relation to the titanic force
 s of gentrification.John Burdick is Professor of Anthropology at Syracuse 
 University. His work has focused for the past 35 years on the role of popu
 lar culture and religion in political mobilization and activism. His area 
 of expertise is Brazil. Since 2016 he has led a Brazil-based research team
  on the impacts of social housing projects on different segments of the wo
 rking class.&nbsp\; Conversations in Conflict Studies is a weekly educatio
 nal speaker series for students\, faculty\, and the community. The series\
