Dr Richard Carter-White

Dr Richard Carter-White

Senior Lecturer at the Macquarie School of Social Sciences (Australia)

His research interests lie at the intersection of cultural and political geography, coalescing into three main themes: i) geographies of disaster, trauma and exception; ii) geographies of representation, testimony and performance; and iii) spatial philosophies of community, biopolitics and affect. These themes are united by his interest in poststructuralism and deconstruction.
