Caroline Knowles

Caroline Knowles is a Professor and Global Professorial Fellow at the School of Geography, Queen Mary University of London. Her research examines urban transformations through the lenses of migration, finance, and spatial justice, with particular focus on global cities like London, Hong Kong, Beijing, and Addis Ababa.

Her core research interests include:

• The interplay between global finance and urban development patterns
• Migration and diaspora communities in superdiverse cities
• Spatial manifestations of wealth inequality and plutocratic landscapes
• Ethnicity and globalization in urban contexts
• Material culture and global commodity circuits

Knowles' publications consistently explore urbanization through ethnographic approaches, with recent work concentrating on London's plutocratic spaces. Her methodological approach combines urban walking, visual methods, and transnational ethnography to analyze global-local connections.
