Mia White

Mia Charlene White is Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies in the Environmental Studies Program at The New School for Public Engagement and the Milano School for International Affairs, Management and Urban Policy.  Mia is a faculty- affiliate of the Tishman Environment and Design Center , a 2017-18 Fellow with the Graduate Institute for Design, Ethnography and Social Thought. Mia’s work is interdisciplinary, sitting at the intersection of radical and race geography, anthropology, planning/urban theory and radical sociology/history. Since joining the faculty of The New School in 2016, she has developed and teaches the following courses: Environmental History, Race and Natural Resource Management, Black Geographies, Race, Space and Dispossession, and The Revolution will be Cooperative: Community Land Trusts, Coops and The Commons. She is currently working on her first book manuscript titled Love: A Blues Epistemology from the Undercommons, which is an ethnographic and photographic exploration of socio-spatial resistance and everyday revolution in Brown and Black spaces, towards what she hopes suggests a “Theory of Love.”
