Will and Nan Clarkson
Visiting Chair
In October 2008, the Department of Urban and Regional Planning will continue its annual tradition of hosting the Clarkson Chair, a scholar-in-residence. Through a week-long series of public lectures and seminars, hosted on and off campus, the Clarkson week promotes interdisciplinary scholarship on a topic of current interest, and facilitates knowledge-sharing among academicians and local planning practitioners.
The faculty of the Department of Urban and Regional Planning are delighted to announce that Dr. Michael Teitz, professor emeritus of city and regional planning at the University of California, Berkeley, has been named the 2008 Clarkson Chair in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning. Dr. Teitz will give the annual public Clarkson lecture while he is in residence at the University at Buffalo in October.
