More About Tim:
Tim Cunningham is an Adjunct Associate Professor at the Pratt Institute, New York City,
where he teaches courses on urban design, planning, and social justice. His interdisciplinary
scholarship examines how urban infrastructure and design practices shape patterns of
inequality and conflict. Prior to his academic career, Cunningham worked for over a decade
with the Committee on the Administration of Justice, an independent human rights
organization in Belfast, where he focused on social and economic inequalities and organized
an Equality Coalition representing marginalized communities.
His recent book, Human Rights and the Architecture of Conflict (Routledge 2026), offers a
groundbreaking examination of how governments in the United States and United Kingdom
used urban planning and architecture to entrench racial and ethnic divisions. Drawing on
original archival research and field work conducted in Belfast, Miami, Washington DC, and
New York City, the book reveals striking parallels between British counter-insurgency tactics
in 1970s Northern Ireland and earlier segregationist practices in American cities under
urban renewal programs. His current research includes an examination of the relationship
between street art, public space, and political conflict.
