Catherine Nash

Dr. Catherine Nash is an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Geography and Planning at Brock University, St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. She previously held the title of Professor Emerita in Geography and Tourism Studies. Her research focuses on gender and sexuality, digital cities, and the production of urban space, with a particular interest in transnational resistances to LGBT equalities and the evolving queer urban landscapes.

Her work examines the intersections of rights discourses, urban mobility, and new technologies, informed by her prior career as a lawyer specializing in urban planning. Key research themes include the reconfiguration of urban space, the mobility of ideas, and digital city dynamics at transnational levels.

Dr. Nash’s current projects explore topics such as 'Beyond Opposition,' 'Mapping transnational resistances to LGBT equalities,' and 'Toronto's sexual and gendered landscapes.' She actively engages with contemporary debates surrounding identity politics, freedom of speech, and access to public space.
