On Friday, November 14th, sixth-year PhD candidate Rustam Khan presented a paper on a moderated panel of the 2025 Urban Worlds Colloquium. The graduate-student conference was organized and hosted by the Laboratory for Urban Spatial and Landscape Research (Urban Space Lab) at The New School in New York City.
Rustam’s paper, “Hip Hop, Migrant Youth, and the Struggle for the Streets of Brussels” drew from a chapter-in-progress of his HASTS dissertation. That research explores the intersections of breakdancing, migration, and urban life in postcolonial Belgium from the late 1950s until the present.
Congratulations, Rustam!
