About


Biography

I am a qualitative social-scientist, with interests in urban social geography and urban policy.  I was appointed to my current post as a Lecturer within the Department of Geography & Sustainable Development in April 2010.  I am also a member of the St Andrew’s Centre for Housing Research, leading research on social housing and community regeneration.  Prior to this I studied as an undergraduate (MA Social Policy & Sociology) and postgraduate (MRes Urban Research & PhD Urban Studies) at the University of Glasgow, before taking up a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the same institution. Funded by the Urban Studies journal, this focused on ‘Political Geographies of the City’ (2007-2010, GES). As an early-career researcher I also taught human geography at the Open University Scotland (2007-2010).

I am active in the Housing Studies Association (a UK Learned Society).  I have been an executive committee member since 2008 and currently hold the post of Secretary (previously Communication’s Officer 2009-11).  I also co-organised the 2011 annual conference on the theme of Housing in Hard Times: class, poverty and social exclusion, which attracted nearly 100 delegates.

In addition, I am a member of the editorial board (and former Reviews Co-editor) for the journal of  Housing Studies, as well as a former member of the Social Policy and Society editorial board (2010-12).
