MM Ramírez, Ph.D. is a feminist urban geographer whose work analyzes how minoritized peoples across North America resist urban dispossession and other injustices through spatial, cultural and artistic practices. She explores these themes across space and scale in her research and teaching, thinking transnationally and intersectionally to understand how cities are contested and spatially remade in the everyday by Latinx, Black and Indigenous communities. 

Ramírez’s writings have been published in such journals as Antipode, Society & Space and Urban Geography, and in such edited collections such Keywords for Gender and Sexuality Studies (2021), Counterpoints: A San Francisco Bay Area Atlas of Displacement & Resistance (2021) and Key Thinkers on Space & Place (2024). Ramírez is also a founding member of the Latinx Geographies Specialty Group and has been collaborating with the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project since 2017. Before joining CCSRE as the associate director of Latinx studies, she was an assistant professor of geography at Simon Fraser University and a creative cities postdoctoral fellow at Stanford, and she earned her doctorate in geography at the University of Washington.
