Nina Medvedeva earned her Ph.D. in feminist studies from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. Her project, Home in the Sharing Economy: An Ethnography in Boston, San Francisco, and Washington D.C, draws on feminist political economy, queer of color critique, economic anthropology, and urban geography to analyze how short-term rentals like Airbnb reconfigure the home as central to the functions of racial capitalism. Medvedeva shows how municipal debates over short-term rentals create new arrangements of urban governance and inspire new housing justice social movements. Her work has appeared in a special issue of Feminist Studies on feminism and capitalism, Antipode, Real Life magazine, and the Platypus blog.
