Dr. Carolyn Prouse

I completed my PhD (2017) in Geography at the 카지노게임사이트 of British Columbia with a dissertation about slum-upgrading and pacification projects in Rio de Janeiro카지노 게임 컬렉션�s favela communities. I received both my BA/BPHE (2008) and MA (2011) at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s from the Department of Kinesiology and Health Studies, where I focused on critical sport and health sociology. My employment experience has primarily been in the fields of institutional equity and urban women카지노 게임 컬렉션�s health. I have most recently been a SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow at the 카지노게임사이트 of Toronto.

Having grown up in Toronto, I am fascinated by the dynamics and politics of the 카지노 게임 컬렉션�urban.카지노 게임 컬렉션� My interests in cities range from sport mega events to slum upgrading to the social determinants of health. While my research is global, I remain grounded in the politics and pedagogies of my home on unceded and treatied Indigenous territories, be it in Toronto, Vancouver, or Kingston.

I currently live in Kingston with my partner, Mark and our dog, Lucy. Outside of work I can often be found fumbling around on the fiddle, reading novels, or looking for local pick-up soccer games.

Research Interests:

My scholarly work unpacks practices of urban economic development. It builds relationships between global and anti/decolonial urbanism, critical development studies, health sociology, and critical race feminist geographies.

My current focus is on the social and economic dynamics of urban infrastructural development. I ask questions such as: How do low-income, racialized communities grapple with state-led upgrading efforts in Brazilian favelas? How does FIFA negotiate with local authorities over the locations of World Cup stadiums? How do communities build their own 카지노 게임 컬렉션�public카지노 게임 컬렉션� infrastructure (such as park areas) in the shadow of state-led projects? And how does non-valued work 카지노 게임 컬렉션� such as breastfeeding 카지노 게임 컬렉션� become distributed through urban infrastructures of human milk banking? I pursue questions such as these in North America, South America, and Africa.

I am also beginning work at the intersection of bio-capital and bio-security, asking how private companies and large philanthropic organizations control global vaccine rollouts in ways that reproduce colonial and imperial divisions of the world; and how emerging biosecurity mechanisms are being enacted at an urban scale to prevent zoonosis (and with what effects on local populations).
