Dr. Kesha Fevrier

Biography

Kesha Fevrier is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography and Planning at Queen's University, with a focus on Black Geographies and Political Ecology. Her research examines the concept of waste as a commodity and how it transforms local geographies while navigating geopolitical borders. Fevrier's work addresses the socio-ecological tensions and conflicts arising from spatial transformations shaped by the circulation of materials. She provides critical insights into global material flows, exploring how these flows create distinct and uneven racial and ethnic landscapes. With a grounding in black, transnational political ecologies and discard studies, her research employs qualitative methodologies, including ethnography, case studies, interviews, and participant observation. In addition to her academic work, Fevrier offers consulting experience to clients in both the public and private sectors, contributing valuable real-world perspectives to her teaching and research. She is also open to supervising students, particularly those interested in complementary research areas and international master's programs.
