    Biography

    Dr Ivana Bevilacqua is a Lecturer in Human Geography based at Birkbeck’s Faculty of Humanities and Social Science. 

    Ivana’s research, teaching and writing are rooted within critical race, settler colonial and Indigenous studies, and across the fields of political geography and urban studies. Her work critically examines the violence of infrastructure in relation to colonialism, capitalism, and mobility, while exploring the liberatory potential through subversive and unruly uses of infrastructure and property arrangements. Ivana also collaborates with Indigenous knowledge keepers, artists, filmmakers, community groups, and labour movements to integrate academic research with the pursuit of social justice.

    Ivana has been awarded the LSE Teaching Excellence Award for “Inspiring Teaching” and is a Fellow of the UK Higher Education Academy (FHEA).
