Rashad Shabazz's academic expertise combines human geography, cultural studies, gender studies, and critical race studies. His research explores how race, gender, and cultural production are informed by geography. His first book, Spatializing Blackness (University of Illinois Press, 2015), examines how carceral power within the geographies of Black Chicagoans shaped urban planning, housing policy, architecture, policing practices, gang formation, high incarceration rates, masculinity, and health.
Professor Shabazz's scholarship has appeared in Souls, The Spatial-Justice Journal, ACME, Gender, Place and Culture, Cultural Geography, and Occasions. In addition, Shabazz has also published several book chapters and book reviews. Professor Shabazz's scholarship is also public-facing. He has published in Places and written several articles for The Conversation. He has also appeared on local, national, and international news programs such as the BBC, Time Magazine, and 20/20.
He recently completed his second book, Biography of a Sound—Prince, Place, and the Hidden History of the Minneapolis Sound. The book uncovers Minneapolis Sound's development from its mid-19th century birth to the release of Prince's magnum opus, Sign O' The Times, in 1987. Dr. Shabazz is working on a book about race and real estate in Scottsdale, Arizona.
