Dr. Kathleen Stokes is an Assistant Professor in Urban Geography at Dublin City University's School of History and Geography. Her research focuses on urban governance, infrastructural labor, sustainable cities, urban livelihoods, waste management, and vacant space policies. She examines how state-society relations shape community waste labor in cities like Cape Town and South Africa, emphasizing the socio-economic dimensions of urban development. Her work bridges theoretical frameworks with empirical studies, addressing contemporary challenges such as infrastructural citizenship and urban resource reconfiguration.
Her research interests also extend to the socio-economic impact of collaborative platforms and UK makerspaces, reflecting a broader engagement with innovation ecosystems. Despite no listed awards or grants, her publications highlight critical analyses of labor dynamics in waste sectors and urban policy evaluations, particularly in South African and Dublin contexts.
