Draft:Janice Elaine Perlman

Perlman was born in New York City and grew up in Queens and Long Island.

She received her BA in Anthropology from Cornell in 1965 and her PhD in Political Science and Urban Studies from MIT in 1971.

Pelrman first came to Brazil as part of a musical tour of South America during the summer after her freshman year at Cornell, and her PhD dissertation brought her back in 1968-1969. She conducted research in Rio de Janeiro’s favelas, living in three favelas for six months each and interviewing 600 residents and 150 community leaders.{{cite web |title=Multigenerational Interview Materials Capture the Stories of Rural-To-Urban Migration to Squatter Settlements (Favelas) in Brazil in the 1960s and Early 2000s |url=https://www.hoover.org/news/multigenerational-interview-materials-capture-stories-rural-urban-migration-squatter}}https://clacs.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/publications/brlas-spring2011-perlman.pdf Her work, conducted during Brazil’s dictatorship, led to accusations of subversion, forcing her to flee the country.{{cite web |title=Memory and Truth: Six Decades since the Brazilian Military Coup | School of Professional Studies |url=https://intranet.sps.columbia.edu/events/memory-and-truth-six-decades-brazilian-military-coup}} She eventually returned to investigate the fate of displaced residents, culminating in her 1976 book The Myth of Marginality, which challenged misconceptions about favelas.{{Cite journal |last=Dean |first=Warren |date=1977 |title=Review of The Myth of Marginality: Urban Poverty and Politics in Rio de Janeiro. |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/2148533 |journal=Political Science Quarterly |volume=92 |issue=3 |pages=567–569 |doi=10.2307/2148533 |issn=0032-3195 |jstor=2148533}}{{Cite news |last=Dia |first=Hoje em |date=13 July 2019 |title=Pesquisadora americana alerta sobre futuro de comunidades periféricas no Brasil |url= |work=Agência Brasil}}

In 1999, Perlman returned to Rio to locate her original interviewees, successfully tracking them thanks to strong community ties.{{cite journal |last1=Perlman |first1=Janice E. |date=1975 |title=Rio's Favelas and the Myth of Marginality |url=https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/003232927500500201?icid=int.sj-abstract.similar-articles.8 |journal=Politics & Society |volume=5 |issue=2 |pages=131–160 |doi=10.1177/003232927500500201}} Over a decade, she and a trained local team conducted 3,146 interviews across three generations, resulting in the 2010 publication of Favela: Four Decades of Living on the Edge in Rio de Janeiro.{{cite journal |last1=Carmo |first1=Maria Scarlet do |date=2013 |title=Book Review: Janice Perlman, 2010.

In 1965, before her first study of Rio’s favelas, Perlman co-directed a project between U.S. and Brazilian students in Recife’s peripheral communities,{{cite web |title=Antropóloga Janice Perlman volta ao Cabo de Santo Agostinho após cinco décadas para realizar pesquisa pela Fundaj-Fulbright |url=https://www.gov.br/fundaj/pt-br/centrais-de-conteudo/noticias-1/antropologa-janice-perlman-volta-ao-cabo-de-santo-agostinho-apos-cinco-decadas-para-realizar-pesquisa-pela-fundaj-fulbright |work=FUNDAJ}} but it was disrupted by Brazil’s 1964 military coup. In 2018, she received a Fulbright Grant to revisit these communities and assess changes since the dictatorship, SUAPE’s industrial expansion, and metropolitan incorporation.{{cite web |title=Janice Perlman | Fulbright Scholar Program |url=https://fulbrightscholars.org/grantee/janice-perlman}} The research, delayed by COVID-19, was published in 2023 as "The More Things Change, the More They Stay the Same."https://fundaj.emnuvens.com.br/CIC/article/download/2187/1698

In Europe, Perlman studied urban social movements and participatory planning in London, Copenhagen and Madrid. This research culminated in three articles for Lawrence Susskind's edited volume, “Paternalism, Conflict, and Coproduction: Learning from Citizen Action and Citizen Participation in Western Europe:”{{Cite journal |last1=Susskind |first1=Lawrence |last2=Elliott |first2=Michael |date=1983 |title=Paternalism, Conflict, and Coproduction |url=https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-1-4899-0360-0 |journal=SpringerLink |language=en |doi=10.1007/978-1-4899-0360-0|isbn=978-1-4899-0362-4 }} "Citizen Action and Participation in Madrid's Planning Process," "Copenhagen's Black Quadrant: The Facade and Reality of Participation," and "Docklands and Coventry: Two Citizen Action Groups in Britain's Economically Declining Areas."

Perlman’s first teaching appointment was as an Assistant Professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz, where she was an assistant professor in the Political Science and Community Studies Departments from 1971-1973. In 1973, Perlman was hired at UC Berkeley, where she became the first woman to attain tenure in UC Berkeley’s Department of City and Regional Planning.[https://150w.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/department_of_city_and_regional_planning_dcrp_women_urap_daisy_son.pdf A BRIEF HISTORY OF WOMEN IN THE DEPARTMENT OF CITY AND REGIONAL PLANNING] Perlman was then invited to be a Research Professor at New York University and taught at the Wagner School of Public Service from 1987-1997.

More recently, Perlman was a Senior Research Scholar at Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation and the Institute of Latin American Studies. She is now a Senior Fellow and International Urban Research Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania.{{cite web | url=https://penniur.upenn.edu/people/janice-perlman | title=Janice Perlman | Penn IUR }}

Janice Perlman founded The Mega-Cities Project (MCP), initiated in 1987 at NYU and formally incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in 1988, with the mission of shortening the lag time between ideas and implementation in urban problem-solving.{{Cite web |last=megambd |title=OUR HISTORY |url=https://megacitiesproject.org/history/ |access-date=2025-03-16 |website=Mega Cities |language=en-US}} MCP created a global network of the world’s largest cities, including New York, Los Angeles, Mumbai, Bangkok, Jakarta, Cairo, Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro, among others.{{Cite web |last=megambd |title=OUR EVOLUTION |url=https://megacitiesproject.org/our-evolution/ |access-date=2025-03-16 |website=Mega Cities |language=en-US}} Each participating city had a Project Coordinator, a host institution, and a steering committee of innovators from each of six sectors: public, private, organized civil society, grassroots groups, academia and the media. Together the city teams created a working definition of urban innovations and a set of criteria for identifying, documenting and disseminating the most replicable and highest impact experiences. The project supported and brokered the transfer and adaptation of dozens of innovations across communities, cities, countries, and regions.{{Cite web |last=megambd |title=STRATEGY & STRUCTURE |url=https://megacitiesproject.org/strategy-structure/ |access-date=2025-03-16 |website=Mega Cities |language=en-US}}
