Carolyn Prouse is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography and Planning at Queen's University. She holds a PhD in Geography from the University of British Columbia, focusing on slum-upgrading pacification projects in Rio de Janeiro's favela communities. Her academic background includes a BA/BPHE and an MA from Queen's University, with research interests that traverse urban economic development, anticolonial urbanism, feminist science and technology studies, and urban political ecology. Prouse's research investigates the intricate dynamics between urban infrastructure, social and economic issues, and the impact of big tech on public health governance. She has worked on SSHRC-funded projects that address the intersections of biocapital, biosecurity, and digital geographies, particularly within North America, South America, and Africa. Prouse's approach is informed by her commitment to uncovering the underlying factors that influence health and governance in urban settings, particularly focusing on equity for disadvantaged communities. She currently lives in Kingston, Ontario, where she enjoys engaging in local soccer games and reading.
