Research Interests

Anne Bonds a feminist geographer whose research interests include race, racialization, and racial segregation, urban political economy and community development, critical property and housing studies, and carceral and abolition geographies. She is a founding member of the Mapping Racism and Resistance in Milwaukee County project, which examines the geography of racially restrictive covenants and challenges to them between the years 1910 and 1960. Her current and previous research, including work with collaborators and graduate students, has focused on the geographies of white supremacy, the criminalization of the poor, the racial political economy of rural prison sitings, women’s re-entry experiences following incarceration, young people’s experiences with policing, and non-profit housing development.
