Kevon Rhiney

Dr. Kevon Rhiney is an Associate professor of Geography at Rutgers University.

As a broadly trained human geographer, my research interests are wide-ranging and interdisciplinary. Over the years, I have written on a diverse range of subjects, including rural agrarian change, sustainable tourism development, environmental justice, and global change.  Alongside my core research interests, I routinely engage discourses and debates rooted in socio-spatial theory and the geo-humanities. My current research is situated at the nexus of critical development studies, political ecology, science and technology studies and postcolonial thought. A key focus of this research to date has been to explore the development and justice implications of global change for coupled human and natural systems in the Caribbean, including the ability of these systems to withstand or adjust to these changes in an ever-changing, interconnected and increasingly complex world.
