Oona Morrow

Berlin

Oona Morrow is a feminist geographer whose research is broadly concerned with the economic politics of everyday life, a theme she engages through research on diverse economies, urban agriculture, household sustainability, self-provisioning, social reproduction, food security, commons, and poverty. She is Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Geography at Trinity College Dublin, where she is a member of the European Research Council funded SHARECITY project. Led by PI Anna Davies, she and a team of international researchers are assessing the sustainability potential of food sharing economies in cities. She is conducting ethnographic research on food commons and their governance in Berlin and New York. Oona has a PhD in geography from Clark University, where she and PI Deborah G. Martin were successfully awarded National Science Foundation funding to conduct in-depth ethnographic research on urban agriculture and household sustainability in Greater Boston. Her dissertation research examines the social, economic, and nature-society relations that develop around self-provisioning practices, such as do-it-yourself, urban agriculture, and cottage food production. Through this research she explores the intersections of gender, diverse economies, the commons, and urban food policies.
