Greer Hamilton

Greer Hamilton (she/her) is an assistant professor at the University of Michigan School of Social Work. As a place-based researcher, her work seeks to examine how systems of oppression are embedded into the built environment and subsequently impact people’s health, well-being and use of public spaces. Her work often uses community-engaged, arts-based and embodied approaches to understand study participants’ experiences with places of meaning (e.g., neighborhoods).

In the School of Social Work, she co-coordinates the Community Scholars Program (Community Based Initiative in Detroit and the National Community Scholars Program). She also serves as an advisor for the forthcoming Roots of Reproductive Justice Timeline and a board member to Midwest Access Coalition, a practical support abortion fund serving people in and traveling to the Midwest.
