ABOUT
Established in Dec 2023, CoSEP undertakes transdisciplinary, research-driven projects to address the socio-spatial and political nature of designing and governing the built environment to facilitate the fullness of life. CoSEP's projects lie at the intersection of design, technology, governance, and social justice. We are committed to praxis, or the reflective manner of combining theory and practice to achieve and sustain bold and just futures.
CoSEP is housed at the University of California, Davis, on the land of the home of the Patwin people.

PRAXIS

We undertake transdisciplinary, research-driven projects and practices to address the spatial and political nature of designing and governing the built environment to facilitate the fullness of life. We are committed to analyzing how praxis, the reflective manner of combining theory and practice for emancipatory futures, can lend insight into and shape socio-spatial and environmental relationships. The projects of CoSEP lie at the intersection of spatial design x technology x social movements x governance.
