Bio
Gabi Kirk is a PhD Candidate in Geography with a Designated Emphasis in Feminist Theory and Research at the University of California, Davis. Working between political ecology, feminist geography, and geographies of colonialism, her dissertation project examines how Palestinian farmers and sustainable development organizations in the northern West Bank use agro-ecology in projects of identity formation and struggles for sovereignty. She also uses feminist archival methods to study the settler-colonial history of agricultural science, examining the transnational circuits of agricultural and infrastructural expertise between California and Palestine from the 19th century onward. She has published, solo and collaboratively, in Jewish Currents, Historical Geography, Journal of Political Ecology, Society and Space, and PROTOCOLS.
