About me

My name is Eden Kinkaid (they/them). I am a researcher, theorist,  educator, and professional grant writer. I am trained as a critical human geographer, though my interdisciplinary education includes formal training in biology, anthropology, environmental studies, and gender studies. I also have sustained engagements with philosophy. 

What is a human geographer? I'm 1/3 social scientist, 1/3 philosopher, and 1/3 creative writer and artist. As an academic and researcher, I have broad interests. On my Research page, you can learn about my work on topics including food systems, agriculture, and development; critical phenomenology; feminist geographies; creative geographies; queer and trans geographies; geographic theory, and diversity, equity, and inclusion in higher education. 

For a bird's eye view of my academic work, you can browse my CV and Publications page. A number of recorded presentations are available on my Recorded Talks page. To learn about my work as an educator, check out my Teaching page.

You can also find information here about the research collective, Queering Feminist Geography, and the transnational geography zine archive, GEOZONe. The Social Media page details some of the other accounts and campaigns I coordinate related to my professional life. 

If any of this interests you, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Send me an email at kinkaid@udel.edu. I am available to give colloquium and keynote talks in academic year 2024 - 2025 (including about my book project), so please reach out.
