Biography

Tawab Hlimi is an Associate Professor at the University of Calgary in the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape. His work predominantly addresses environmental issues within the fields of ecology, infrastructure, and urbanism. Recently, his focus has shifted towards the intersection of environmental and social justice, recognizing the deep connections between these areas. Hlimi's research challenges and expands the traditional boundaries of landscape architecture by incorporating broader social justice concerns and considering the complex political nature of engaging with these topics. He seeks to subvert and disrupt established design systems through his research and teaching. As a leader and mentor, Hlimi inspires, guides, and supports students as they navigate systems of social injustice. He emphasizes the responsibility of educators to integrate humanistic approaches into the curriculum and plans to continue mentoring students by exploring oppressive systems, thereby inspiring a new generation of landscape architects to engage in social justice work.
