Maurice Yip joined the Institute in 2019 as Graduate Assistant in Legal Geography to work with Professor Jean Ruegg. His PhD thesis, Geographical Explanation of Sharing Urbanism, contributes an experiment to the revitalised conversations on explanatory theorisation in geography. During his time in Lausanne, he has developed research works on explaining urban transformation and territorial disputes and exploring the nature and history of geography as a social science discipline, because knowing the discipline is an important first step towards interdisciplinary research. He tutored the introductory course in the geography undergraduate programme. Within the Institute, he serves as one of the coordinators of the urban studies research collective, Mondes urbains.
