Achievements as Department Chair, Urban and Environmental
Policy and Planning at Tufts University 2007-2013
Students/admissions: UEP recruits a class of ~47 MA and ~10 MPP plus up to
10 Certificate students each year. This has been stable 2007-2013 although
MA ‘yield’ was increased from 35% in prior years to 46% in 2009 and 2010.
While we are a graduate department, I re-launched the Undergraduate
Minor in Urban Studies. I managed a financial aid system of partial tuition
remission scholarships each year based on each student's financial need.
Faculty: UEP has 13 full-time and 2 part-time faculty with 15 adjunct and 8
affiliated faculty. Under my watch I recruited one tenure track assistant
professor, a professor of the practice and a full professor (new tenure line).
I tenured two assistant professors and did a lateral hire at full professor. I
recruited numerous adjuncts and made one previously part-time lecturer
full-time.
Accreditation: In 2011 UEP received the first full seven-year reaccreditation
by the Planning Accreditation Board (PAB) in its history. This is reserved
for departments that are excelling in all accreditation categories.
Agyeman 3
Department visioning: I developed a six-year vision for UEP that focused on
the ‘Two C’s’ namely Curriculum and Communication.
Curriculum: I oversaw a major restructuring of the core curriculum for the
MA degree including the move toward competency-based education,
development of a new core course ‘Cities in Space, Place and Time’ and
new thesis examining arrangements. I oversaw the development of three
new degrees: An MA/JD with BC Law, an MA/MBA with BC Carroll School
of Management and an MA/MPH with Tufts’ School of Medicine.
Communication (department image, branding and status): I developed a new
website with a new, contemporary logo which is now used in all UEP
communications. The UEP MA was ranked no 2 accredited planning
program in departments without a Ph.D. by Planetizen magazine in 2011.
UEP is one of few Departments that has 100% success rate in the planning
professional exam, the American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP).
Engagement with local communities: I hired a Professor of the Practice in
2008, who was a Director of a well-respected Boston area non-profit,
specifically to deepen our engagement with local communities. This has
resulted in the development of a Community Strategy including community
members speaking at Department Colloquia, a student/community
‘Practical Visionaries Workshop’ and the development of a program of
‘Visiting Practitioners’ to mirror our ‘Visiting Scholar’ program
Fundraising: While chair we celebrated our 35th and 40th anniversaries. I
fundraised about $20,000 for each to bring in keynote speakers such as Van
Jones (now on CNN’s ‘Crossfire’) and Professor Robert D Bullard, hire
venues for up to 300 and for catering.
Current Research Interests
My current research interests are in five broad areas, each of which
critically explores some aspect(s) of the complex and embedded relations
between humans and the environment, whether mediated by institutions or
social movement organizations, and the effects of this on public policy and
planning processes and outcomes, particularly in relation to notions of
justice and equity.
Agyeman 4
The areas are:
1. the nexus between the concepts of environmental justice and
sustainability and, specifically, the possibility of a ‘just sustainability’;
2. the potential of the concept of ‘spatial justice’ to contribute to ‘just
sustainability’;
3. the potential in emerging discourses around ‘food justice/sovereignty’ to
contribute to discourses around ‘just sustainability’;
4. the concepts of interculturalism, cultural competency, culturally inclusive
practice and culturally inclusive spaces in urban planning;
5. the potential in sharing in cities to decrease inequality, increase social
capital and to cut resource use.
