Trina Hamilton

Trina Hamilton is a broadly trained human geographer who teaches and publishes on corporate social and environmental responsibility, global governance networks, international trade and diverse economies. She is particularly interested in new forms of politics, including corporate campaigns and the overlapping of marketplace and traditional political spheres, and the impact of new governance mechanisms on trade and economic development patterns. She also recently engaged debates on environmental gentrification, specifically focusing on Greenpoint, Brooklyn and how gentrification is affecting environmental activism and the neighborhood’s economic and ecological re-visioning. Hamilton's research has been supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Baldy Center for Law and Social Policy, the UB Humanities Institute and the UB Canadian-American Studies Committee.
