Rachel Goffe is a geographer and architect whose work focuses on place-making, livelihoods, and negotiated state formation. Her research investigates the transformations of postcolonial states, particularly how mobility and boundaries affect 'formal' relationships to land and space. Goffe is particularly interested in how emerging public policy interacts with squatting practices, with a focus on Caribbean radical traditions. Her current projects examine the ramifications of legalized cannabis policy on the Jamaican landscape and challenge theories of racial capitalism, social reproduction, and the ongoing issues of land tenure. Goffe's work aims to contribute to the understanding of how systemic inequities are manifested in urban-rural interfaces and the role of lived experiences in shaping these dynamics.
