Beverley Mullings is a professor in the Department of Geography & Planning at the University of Toronto. Her work focuses on the ways contemporary capitalist regimes transform racialized communities in the majority world and the reproduction of these communities. She draws on decolonial and anti-colonial feminist theories to explore the transformations of value and work, the emergence of new urban governance regimes, and the increasing financialization of everyday life. Her research is situated within the Caribbean diaspora, emphasizing its crucial role in shaping geographical theory given its historical significance within the world capitalist system. A founding member of the Association of American Geographers’ Mental Health Academy Affinity Group, Mullings actively promotes structures to support mental wellness in academia. Her current research projects investigate Black women’s labor in Canada and Jamaica’s hustle economies and examine relationships between informality and the spatialization of life and work. She welcomes students interested in pushing the boundaries of economic geography and applying racial analytics to study economic relationships, particularly those aiming to develop black political economy approaches to work and labor regimes.
