Biography
Rachel Goffe is a geographer and a licensed architect. Her work is concerned with place-making, livelihood and how these aspects of life are shaped through, and in tension with, public policy. Goffe's research is primarily sited in Jamaica where she is from originally and has focused on the encounter between recent policy to curtail squatting and traditions of Black life that emerged through durable yet insecure possession of small parcels of land.
