Kathryn Yusoff is Professor of Inhuman Geography at Queen Mary University of London, where she interrogates the geologies of race, extraction and colonial power through critical environmental humanities. Trained in geography, social theory and environmental philosophy, her research (and her recent book Geologic Life: Inhuman Intimacies and the Geophysics of Race, 2024) surfaces how colonial geology constructs racialized geospatial forms and how Black, Indigenous and Caribbean thought might reimagine planetary subjectivity and decolonial new materialisms. She also authored A Billion Black Anthropocenes or None (2019), and collaborates in the collective “planetary portals” (with Kerry Holden and Casper Laing Ebbensgaard) to dismantle extractive imaginaries and rethink the endurance of colonial systems through the spatial concept of the portal. She is co-curator of the British Pavillion, GBR: Geology of Britannic Repair (with Stella Mutegi, Owen Hopkins, Kabage Karanja) for the Venice Architecture Biennale 2025.
