Reuben Rose-Redwood - Collaboratory Director
Email: redwood@uvic.ca
Note: I am not taking on new graduate students for supervision.
I'm a Professor of Geography at the University of Victoria and Director of the Critical Geographies Research Collaboratory. At UVic, I co-founded and serve as the current Chair of the Committee for Urban Studies, which organizes The City Talks, and I'm also a member of the Cultural, Social, and Political Thought Program. From 2021-2026, I will be serving as Associate Dean Academic in the Faculty of Social Sciences. Additionally, I am Managing Editor of Dialogues in Human Geography.
Research Interests

- History of urban planning in North America
- Cultural landscape studies and the geographies of memory, power, and place
- Governmentality, the grid, and the spatial politics of calculation
- Historical cartography and the politics of mapping
- Theories of performativity and performance
- The possibilities and limits to dialogue in human geography
- Geographies of higher education and the international student experience
Teaching
- GEOG 218 - Social & Cultural Geography
