Nina Olney
Sociology
Nina Olney is a current PhD student in Sociology, studying how notions of land vacancy and productivity change in the afterlife of adaptive reuse projects, particularly in relation to environmental remediation. Nina’s previous work focused on the ways in which climate planning draws on racialized aesthetics of urban green space to enable environmental gentrification. With a background in economics and sustainable architecture, Nina approaches these research questions with a mix of qualitative and critical spatial methodology in order to better understand the spatial logics of dispossession and cycles of de/revalorization related to urban greening.
