Biography:

Julie Chamberlain is an assistant professor and activist scholar who studies the intersections of racism, anti-racism, urban development, and planning, mainly in Germany and Canada. Before joining the Department of Urban and Inner-City Studies in 2021, she taught courses in qualitative research methods and human and cultural geography in Brandon, Toronto, and Hamburg.

Dr. Chamberlain values community-engaged and community-based knowledge creation and knowledge sharing, particularly as a white settler who studies racialization and urban space. Her past work has illuminated racialized residents’ perspectives on neighbourhood change and development in Hamburg, analyzed how racism is reproduced in urban development and planning discourse, and facilitated community-based knowledge sharing with immigrant and refugee-serving organizations. Dr. Chamberlain is from Scarborough, Ontario.
