Aaron Mallory

Aaron Mallory is an Assistant Professor jointly appointed in African American Studies and Women and Gender Studies within the School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University. He is a Black queer feminist scholar whose work examines knowledge production, loss, and health disparities in Black queer communities.

His research employs Black geography frameworks to analyze how communities leverage experiences of loss to resist systemic erasure in historical narratives, health knowledge systems, and spatial practices. Current projects include a queer-of-color critique of public health responses to HIV/AIDS and an exploration of loss as a catalyst for challenging marginalization in Black life.

His publications explore themes including antiblackness in healthcare systems, spatial technologies of racialization, and epistemological resistance. Articles demonstrate consistent focus on HIV/AIDS disparities, spatial justice, and Black feminist methodologies.

He holds a PhD from the University of Minnesota and a BA from The Evergreen State College.
