Personal profile

Research interests

My research interests are broadly centred around social geographies of identity, ‘race’, nation and belonging, with particular focus on the UK. Connected to these broad interests, I am also concerned with legacies of colonialism, intersections of ‘race’ and class, migration, integration, suburban multiculture, and politics of indigeneity, genealogy and relatedness.

Supervisory Interests

I welcome applications for PhD research from students interested in conducting qualitative research and particularly with projects relating to place/space, identities and belonging; Britishness, nationhood and nationalism; boundaries and borders; communities, hope and solidarity; migration, integration and citizenship; race/racism, whiteness; and/or class. 

Approach to teaching

I teach using an interactive, student‑centred approach that encourages discussion and active engagement with complex social issues. I draw on a range of methods—from debates and applied exercises to more creative approaches—to help students connect theoretical ideas to real‑world problems. I am particularly interested in supporting students’ confidence and helping them develop strong analytical, research and writing skills.
