2025 Henry Sirotin Outstanding Adjunct Award

We are proud to announce Coline Chevrin as the recipient of the 2025 Henry Sirotin Outstanding Adjunct Award, awarded annually to an outstanding adjunct instructional staff member who goes above and beyond the expectations of their employment contract.

This award recognizes Coline’s exceptional dedication to students, teaching excellence, and meaningful contributions to the academic community. Her commitment exemplifies the spirit of the award—named in memory of adjunct professor Henry Sirotin—and underscores the essential role adjuncts play in the life and mission of the department.

Coline is 6-year Ph.D. student in Geography at the department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the CUNY Graduate Center and an adjunct at the Geography Department at Hunter College since 2019. After a master's degree in Territorial Policies for Sustainable Development, Coline specialized in territorial and development studies. She was an assistant professor and researcher in Argentina at the Universidad Nacional de Rosario from 2013 to 2017. Her research focuses on the impact of the soybean extractivist model on the restructuring of the city of Rosario, Argentina. She analyzes how the extractive frontier has materialized in the different spaces of the city, how communities organize to resist enclosure and displacement and to secure space for life. She pays specific attention to the different ways solidarity emerges from those processes. She is particularly interested in Latin American situated knowledge, decolonial praxis, Global South and feminist geographies. Coline has been experimenting visualizing her research through documentary photography and tries to weave critical and visual pedagogies in all aspects of her work. She is the recipient of a 2024 Fulbright Hays grant and of the 2024 CUNY Graduate Center award for excellence in teaching.
