Portrait photo of Coline Chevrin

Coline Chevrin (The Graduate Center) is 6-year Ph.D. student in Geography at the department of Earth and Environmental Sciences.  After a Master’s Degree in Territorial Policies for Sustainable Development, Coline specialized in territorial and development studies. She was an assistant professor and researcher in Argentina at the Universidad Nacional de Rosario from 2013 to 2017. Her research focuses on the impact of the soybean extractivist model on the restructuring of the city of Rosario, Argentina. She analyses how the extractive frontier is materialized in the different spaces of the city, how communities organize to resist enclosure and displacement and to secure space. She pays specific attention to the different ways solidarity emerges from those processes. She is particularly interested in Latin American situated knowledge, decolonial praxis, Global South and feminist geographies. Coline has been experimenting visualizing her research through documentary photography and alternative methods and has incorporated working with artists as part of her praxis. She is an adjunct at the Geography Department at Hunter College.
