Dr Jesse Connuck

Jesse Connuck is an interdisciplinary researcher investigating the importance of home to military power. Her PhD thesis analysed the multi-scalar project of homemaking at overseas United States military bases, especially with regards to the idea of the nation as home and how that is expressed through the built environment and everyday material cultures. Her work considers colonialism and imperialism through the lens of home, with a careful attention to the ways that gender and race inflect global geopolitics. She previously worked as an editor at e-flux Architecture and Columbia Books on Architecture and the City.
