Rachel Heiman is Associate Professor of Anthropology at The New School. Her research theorizes the cultural and spatial politics of class through close ethnographic attention to the intimacies of everyday life and the intricacies of municipal debate. Her books include The Global Middle Classes: Theorizing through Ethnography (SAR, 2012) and Driving after Class: Anxious Times in an American Suburb (California, 2015). Her current project, for which she has received funding from NEH, ACLS, the Wenner-Gren Foundation, and the Stanford Humanities Center, brings together anthropology, urbanism, and architecture to explore new subjectivities, modes of citizenship, and regimes of governance emerging amid efforts to redesign suburbia for a more sustainable future.
