About Aaron

Aaron Mallory is a PhD student in the Department of Geography at the University of Minnesota. A child of Detroit auto workers and Southern raised, he has an inherent commitment to positive social change which led him to pursue a B.A. Political Economy at the Evergreen State College. Prior to pursuing graduate school, Aaron worked as a community organizer for a public health care and prevention organization in Inglewood, California. This experience working to address health disparities in low-income communities of color led Aaron to pursue a PhD in Geography where he combines his research in health, HIV/AIDS prevention, and black LGBTQ communities together in an interdisciplinary setting. His research interests are health geography, feminist knowledge production, black studies, and queer theory.
