We are very excited to announce the appointments of two new members of the Editorial team at Urban Geography
Dr Sarah Moser (McGill University) will be joining us as a frontline editor. Sarah's research examines how national, religious, and ethnic identities shape cities in Southeast Asia and the Muslim world more broadly. Sarah's current work investigates the global emergence of supra-national religious and ethnic identities and how they are manifested in urban form and used to serve secular nation-building purposes.
Martin Saps (Kings College London) will be joining as social media editor. Martin is a writer, researcher, and urbanist whose work explores the intersection of global politics and everyday urban life. He focuses on how large-scale political forces—such as nationalism, migration, and decolonization—are experienced and contested in cities. His research examines the role of ethnicity, religion, language, and national identity in shaping urban communities, with particular attention to class, racialization, and diasporic belonging.
Both will begin their tenure with us on 1 January 2026
