About
I am a Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Associate and work with the Housing and the Sustainable Futures clusters. I specialise in qualitative methods and interested in a critical realist approach to research. Prior to joining I completed a PhD in Human Geography at the University of Leeds (2021), focusing on community-led housing in the UK. My research interests are broad and include housing, diverse economies, racial justice, community-led projects, just transitions and other social aspects of sustainable projects.
