Katherine McKittrick is Associate Professor at Queen’s University. Her highly influential interdisciplinary scholarship links theories of race, space, and texts in creative ways. From her first book, Demonic Grounds—and since then—McKittrick has been making phenomenal impact in the areas of Geography, Sociology, History, Literature, Cultural Studies, Black Studies and Gender Studies. In fact, her work is fundamental to the development of black geographies as a sub-discipline.
Katherine McKittrick est professeure associée à l’Université Queen’s. Ses recherches interdisciplinaires, qui connaissent un grand rayonnement, associent les théories de race, d’espace et de textes de façon novatrice. Depuis son premier ouvrage, Demonic Grounds, la Prof. McKittrick ne cesse d’exercer une influence prépondérante dans plusieurs domaines : la géographie, la sociologie, l’histoire, la littérature, les études culturelles, les études sur les Noirs et les études de genre. En fait, son travail est indispensable à la reconnaissance de la géographie des Noirs en tant que sous-discipline.
