Biography

Joshua Inwood is a human geographer whose work focuses on questions of race and racism within the civil rights movement. His research is primarily centered on the American South, exploring broad questions related to the geographic history of race in the United States. Inwood draws from a range of scholars and theorists to understand the currents of white supremacy and resistance that have shaped the making of space and place. His interests include focusing on the economic, political, and social structures and the realities of whiteness, as well as the phenomena of settler colonialism. He also has a longstanding research interest in memory studies, particularly in relation to the landscape and questions surrounding U.S.-based truth commissions. Inwood seeks to collaborate with community groups and local activists involved in struggles to tell stories that remake communities. He actively encourages prospective graduate students interested in these topics to contact him.
