Dirk Kinsey has joined the BEH team as an Associate Research Scientist. Dirk Kinsey is a health geographer whose research and teaching focus on disparities in health, well-being, and equity. His work applies feminist and critical race epistemologies to understanding urban social and political systems, with a special emphasis on incarceration, health, and wellness. He uses a mixed-methods and cross-epistemological approach to examining inequities in health and wellbeing at the urban and regional scale. Dirk’s dissertation work examines the growth of correctional supervision outside of prison settings and the institutions, policies, and practices that shape and maintain these systems. This research focuses on health inequities experienced by supervised populations and the specific dimensions of supervision that impact individual and community health. He received his PhD in Geography from Temple University in Philadelphia, PA.
