Date: Thursday 23 January 2020 Speaker: Iain Borden Professor of Architecture & Urban Culture, and Vice-Dean Education at The Bartlett, University College London About the lecture: Skateboarding is at once a sport, a culture and a way of life. Creative, physical, graphic, urban and controversial, it is full of seeming contradictions – a billion-dollar global industry and Olympic sport which still retains a vibrant, critical and counter-cultural heart. In this talk, and accompanied by video clips, Iain Borden relates the history of skateboarding from the 1960s surf beaches of California through the swimming pools and skateparks of the 1970s through to the later episodes of street-skating and engagements with cities, entrepreneurship, artistry and social enterprises. UCL's popular public Lunch Hour Lecture series has been running at UCL since 1942, and showcases the exceptional research work being undertaken across UCL.

Skateboarding and parkour: Laurie Taylor explores lifestyle sports in the hyper regulated city. Iain Borden, Professor of Architecture and Urban Culture at UCL, considers the origins, history and thrill of skateboarding. They're joined by Thomas Raymen, Lecturer in Criminology at the University of Plymouth, who followed a group of Newcastle free running enthusiasts, from wall to rooftop, and probed the contradictions between transgression and conformity to the values of consumer capitalism. Producer: Jayne Egerton

Skateboarding and the City: From Margin to Centre Iain Borden (University College London) Abstract In this talk, I trace the way in which the urban practice skateboarding has moved from a predominantly marginal position in the city – marginal in geographic, cultural and economic terms – to play an increasingly central and/or integrated role in urban cultures and developments. Practised by tens of millions worldwide, skateboarding today makes an important contribution to our current architecture, creative industries, commerce, entrepreneurship and social capital. The talk ranges from California in the 1960s and 1970s to London, Kabul and Indiana in the present day, and from concerns with methodological concerns with history and critical theory to representations in film, music and art.
