Biography

Susanne Soederberg is a professor in the Department of Global Development Studies at Queen's University. Holding a D.Phil in Political Economy from Universität Frankfurt, she is a Canada Research Chair investigating the themes of Inclusive Cities. Her research focuses on Global Political Economy, Urbanization and Displacements, Infrastructure, Global Finance, and Debt. Soederberg uses an interdisciplinary approach that draws from Geography, Politics, Sociology, Gender Studies, and History to analyze contemporary issues related to power dynamics, particularly in the context of financial capitalism and neoliberal governance. Her notable works include 'Debtfare States: Poverty Industry: Money, Discipline Surplus Population' (2014) and 'Urban Displacements: Governing Surplus Survival Global Capitalism' (2021), both of which examine the interconnections between economic policies, social implications, and the lived experiences of marginalized populations. Soederberg actively supervises graduate students who are interested in researching topics around political economy and low-income housing finance.
