Kate would be interested in supervising projects on urban violence and governance, informal economies, the middle classes in the global south, and gender and finance.
Professor Kate Maclean joined the Centre for International Development in 2019, and is interested in feminist geographies of development and globalization. Prior to coming to Northumbria she held a Senior Lectureship in Geography at Birkbeck, University of London (2013-19), where she was also Director of Birkbeck Gender Sexuality, and a Lectureship in Geography at King’s College London (2008-2013). Her research has attracted funding from the Leverhulme Trust, Wellcome Trust, British Academy, National Science Foundation, Economic and Social Research Council, and the Developmental Leadership Programme. She has worked on urban violence and governance in Medellín, rural development in Bolivia, informal markets, gender and the financial crisis, microfinance, and the middle classes and urbanisation in the global south. She is author of the monograph Social Urbanism and the Politics of Violence: The Medellín Miracle, is co-editor of the volume Seduced and Betrayed: Exposing the Contemporary Microfinance Phenomenon, and her peer reviewed publications can be found in journals of geography, development, and cultural studies. In addition to her written work, she has collaborated with the photographer davidxgreen on the exhibition Decolonising witchcraft: Portraits of traditional healers in Bolivia and made a collaborative short film as part of her Leverhulme Project The Aymara Bourgeoisie, viewable here.
