Hi, I’m Dr. Sophonie Milande Joseph! I’m a community planner & critic who writes about urbanism.

My work centers urbanism and employs mixed methods to both make the work of planning public and to bring the public into the work of planning. My applied research interests include urbanism, community planning, and public arts. My work is transnational in nature, spanning the North American continent and the Caribbean. Because of the diasporic character of my planning practice, my research projects possess the shared themes of cultural capital and oral narratives.
