Nina Medvedeva is a Ph.D. candidate whose research explores what short-term rental regulation debates can teach us about how city residents imagine and govern the home. Focusing on the short-term rental debates in Boston, Washington D.C., and San Francisco, her dissertation draws on economic anthropology, feminist political economy, and queer of color critique to analyze how residents make claims that challenge, enforce, or change the hegemonic definition of home.
