Vinay Gidwani

Professor of Geography, Environment, and Society
Institute for Global Studies, University of Minnesota

Vinay Gidwani studies the interactions of labor processes and ecologies in agrarian and urban settings, as well as capitalist transformations of these. He also has longstanding interest in understanding how ‘urban’ and ‘rural’ mutually imprint through physical and ideational flows. Various spatial resolutions of the ‘agrarian question’ are the organizing locus of his research. His concerns here are threefold: first, the cultural politics and geographies of work; second, the more-than-human constitution of social relations; and third, emergent terrains of poverty, injustice, stigma, and struggle.
