Biography:
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. Currently, I am completing a book on Solidarity Cities with my solidarity economy colleagues.
