Research Overview

I am a social geographer who is broadly interested in social differences and identity, youth and geographies of the lifecourse, and disability geography.  Theoretically, my interests lie in relationality and temporality, focusing on futurity and lived experiences of time.  I am also interested in research practice, including ethics, participation and innovative qualitative methods.
