Deborah Cowen is a Professor in the Department of Geography & Planning at the University of Toronto. Cowen's work explores how the spaces of everyday life are assembled, reproduced, contested, and transformed. She focuses on questions of circulation and infrastructure, attending to the co-production of race and space, sexuality and social ordering, and the intimate life of war in ostensibly civilian spaces. Professor Deborah Cowen is  fortunate to work with award-winning artists and filmmakers, Indigenous knowledge keepers, community organizers and organizations, labour movements, and extraordinary interdisciplinary and emerging scholars.
