Dr. Alison Bain is Professor of Geographies of Inclusive Cities in the Department of Human Geography and Spatial Planning at Utrecht University. She has research expertise on the geographies of artists and contemporary practices of urban and suburban place-making. Through the lenses of identity politics, social justice, artistic labour, and vernacular creative practice she examines the spatial and creative affordances of cities and their peripheries for cultural workers and LGBTQ+ populations. Her scholarship investigates contested neighbourhood place-embedding processes through formal and informal arts-led urban redevelopment initiatives and social inclusion practices in mid-size and large Canadian and German cities.
