I am an urban geographer working within the field of inequality studies. Originally from the Midlands, my work has emerged from an interest in social and spatial difference across regions and cities, with a particular focus on the intersection between post-austerity political economy and the material conditions of everyday life.
I have broad research interests including the changing governance of austerity, municipal and cooperative housing, the political history of the Midlands, social reproduction and care, the political economy of death and dying, and participatory and community led research methods.
I currently work as a community action researcher in the Community Action Team at St Christopher’s Hospice in South London, where I employ participatory and creative research methods in community settings to investigate the lived experience of death, dying and loss. I completed my PhD in Political Geography at the University of Cambridge where I examined the ongoing effects of austerity on social housing provision in the East Midlands. I have an MPhil in Architecture and Urban Studies, and a BA in Fine Art.
