Cindi Katz


Cindi Katz (born 1954 in New York City), a geographer, is Professor in Environmental Psychology, Earth and Environmental Sciences, American Studies, and Women's Studies at the CUNY Graduate Center. Her work concerns social reproduction and the production of space, place and nature; children and the environment; the consequences of global economic restructuring for everyday life; and the intertwined spatialities of homeland and home-based security. She is a member of the Children's Environmental Research Group at the Center for Human Environments and sits on the Advisory Boards of the Center for Place, Culture and Politics and the Women's Studies Certificate Program, both at the CUNY Graduate Center. She is a member of the Solidarity Board of Community Voices Heard in New York City.

Katz received her BA, MA, and PhD from Clark University. She is known for her work on social reproduction and everyday life, research on children's geographies, her intervention on "minor theory", and the notion of counter-topography, which is a means of recognizing the historical and geographical specificities of particular places while inferring their analytic connections to specific material social practices. She has published widely on these themes as well as on social theory and the politics of knowledge in edited collections and in journals such as Environment and Planning D: Society and Space, Social Text, Signs, Feminist Studies, Annals of the Association of American Geographers, Social Justice, Gender, Place, and Culture, Cultural Geographies, Antipode, and Public Culture. Katz was co–general editor of WSQ: Women's Studies Quarterly with Nancy K. Miller from 2004 to 2008. Katz and Miller were awarded the Council of Editors of Learned Journals (CELJ) 2007 Phoenix Award for Significant Editorial Achievement. This award is given to the most-improved journal that has launched an overall effort of revitalization or transformation within the previous three years. She was a founding editor of Social and Cultural Geography and the first book review editor of Gender, Place, and Culture, and has served on the editorial boards of Annals of the Association of American Geographers, Environment and Planning D: Society and Space, Social Text, Professional Geographer, and Antipode.
