Carl Bonner-Thompson

Dr. Carl Bonner-Thompson is an Assistant Professor in Urban (In)justice at Utrecht University's Human Geography and Spatial Planning Department. His work integrates feminist and queer perspectives to explore how vulnerabilities, care, and digital technologies intersect with marginalized urban experiences. Key areas include digital geographies of LGBTQ+ communities, masculinities, and the spatial politics of inequality.

Research interests focus on embodied approaches to digital platforms (e.g., Grindr), gender/sexuality geographies, and urban precarity. He examines how technologies mediate identity and spatial practices, particularly for marginalized groups. Recent publications analyze queer social reproduction in precarious cities and feminist spaces for masculinities.
