Jane Henderson, PhD is a critical historical geographer and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography at Dartmouth. Broadly, her work addresses the tensions between Black placemaking and settler colonialism across North America and the Caribbean. Her current book project, “Frontier Futures: Black Geographies and the Making of Minnesota” argues that the Black Minnesotan experiences are shaped by the material and metaphoric geography of the frontier. In addition to her individual research, Jane is co-PI on the Antipode Foundation funded project, “Beyond Esri: Moving Toward Abolition in Geography”, which examines the role of geography education and geospatial tools in contemporary policing and surveillance. Her research can be found journals such as The Professional Geographer and Society & Space. At Dartmouth, she teaches courses on racial capitalism and environmental justice. Jane received her PhD in Geography from the University of California, Berkeley, where she was one of the founding members of the Berkeley Black Geographies project.
