RESEARCH INTERESTS

Urban geography, social theory, diverse economies, multiple economies in post-socialism, Russia, gender and feminist geography, GIS (geographic information systems), critical GIS, work-related mobility, ethical and solidarity economy

 

I am a Professor of Geography at Hunter College and CUNY Graduate Center. I received a PhD in geography from Clark University and MA in Geography from Moscow State University. My research focuses on urban geography, feminist geography, and critical GIS (Geographic Information Science). I examine experiences of transition to capitalism in Russia and the production of economic difference there, including the production of poverty and work-related gendered migration in post-Soviet Russia. My work also looks at the role of the census and geo-spatial data in production of social ontologies. Currently, I work with a group of colleagues on geographies of the solidarity economy in the United States. Among other things, I research alternatives to capitalist finance in the United States as well as many other forms of the solidarity economy such as community gardens and worker cooperatives. My research appeared in the Annals of the American Association of Geographers, Geoforum, Europe-Asia Studies, Environment and Planning A, Cartographica, Urban Geography, and Gender, Place, and Culture as well as in many edited volumes. I co-edited a book Rethinking Neoliberalism: Resisting the Disciplinary Regime to which I also contributed a chapter on normalization of poverty in Russia through metrics. I just completed a book on Solidarity Cities with my solidarity economy research colleagues. It is forthcoming in Fall 2024.  M. Safri, M. Pavlovskaya, S. Healy, and C. Borowiak. “Solidarity Cities: Confronting Racial Capitalism, Mapping Transformation.” Authors are listed in reverse alphabetical order, contribution is equal. Forthcoming Fall 2024, University of Minnesota Press.

ON-GOING RESEARH PROJECTS

Post-socialism, neoliberalism, and multiple/diverse economies, community economies and economies of cooperation

Inspired by the work of feminist geographers J.-K. Gibson-Graham on class as a process and on diverse economies, my research on multiple/diverse economies of post-socialism draws on its conceptualization for the post-Soviet space from my dissertation (1998) and subsequent publication in Pavlovskaya 2004 Other transitions. Seen this way, the transformation of the post-Soviet economy and space was not a single, linear, macroscale, and systemic shift from state socialism to market capitalism. Rather, it involved a drastic, contradictory, and multi-scalar transformation of multiple economies and practices, formal and informal, public and private, monetized and non-monetized. And, the impact of transition has been particularly felt at the scale of a household, where, using Cindi Katz’ words, “messy and fleshy” contradictions of social reproduction have changed everyday lives in a profound but unseen way. Mapping multiple household economies is a way to make them visible but also real and ontologically significant. My later work focuses on the ontological production and epistemological normalization of poverty in Russia, the emergence of temporary labor migration as a major livelihood strategy, and economies of cooperation in post-socialism.

Critical GIS

Critical GIS is a field concerned with uses of geospatial technologies in knowledge production and society more broadly. It sees these technologies as not neutral analytical tools but as highly contested mediums of social power and powerful representational tools. In short, the resulting maps not only reflect the world around us but they produce social landscapes by making things on the map matter. In this sense, mapping has ontological power. By combining the powers of mapping and information technologies with feminist and other critical social theory, Critical GIS promises new possibilities for acting upon the growing social contradictions of the neoliberal era.

See more Pavlovskaya, M. (2018), Critical GIS as a tool for social transformation. The Canadian Geographer / Le Géographe Canadien, 62 (1): 40-54. doi:10.1111/cag.12438.

Critical GIS opens a pragmatic plane of action by fusing progressive geographic imaginations with concrete and tangible maps. This map shows networks of support that allowed women in single households survive the transition to capitalism in Moscow.

 

Solidarity cities and social transformation

A growing international social movement known as social or solidarity economy seeks to intentionally incorporate workplace democracy, social justice, cooperation, and environmental sustainability into everyday economic lives across the world. My colleagues Maliha Safri, Stephen Healy, and Craig Borowiak and I have approached the research on the solidarity economy in the United States using the diverse economies framework (J.-K. Gibson-Graham). In the spirit of critical GIS and together with the movement activists, we have used mapping as a strategy for creating ontologies of the solidarity economy by making it visible on the map (see https://solidarityeconomy.us/). In the United States, the solidarity economy already is widely present but masked by neoliberal and market ideologies. Solidarity economy, we find, offers collective means of resistance to racial capitalism but it also expresses racialized wealth of communities and at times creates social and spatial exclusions, such is the case with the financial cooperatives called credit unions. Making solidarity economies visible transforms them into a focus of critical inquiry while also incorporating it into the social imaginaries of the future.

Credit unions as sites for commoning finance

My work critically examines how credit unions, the financial cooperatives in which over half of the US adult population has membership, act as solidarity economy institutions with a striking example of credit unions founded by black churches to counter the racist practices of mainstream banks. Yet, having originated in communities shaped by racial capitalism, credit unions – perhaps as no other cooperative institutions, owing to the common bond principle - also express the racialized wealth of these communities.
