INTRO
I am a critical human geographer working at the intersection of different fields: urban geography, political economy, housing, health (HIV) and sexualities.

I am one of the editors of Social & Cultural Geography (https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/rscg20), and ACME: an International Journal for Critical Geographies (https://acme-journal.org/index.php/acme).
I am also a member of the editorial board of Gender, Place & Culture (https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/cgpc20/current).

MAIN RESEARCH PROJECTS

In 2022 I am conducting a research project (“The importance of housing security and homemaking practices to navigate uncertainty for people ageing with HIV”), funded by Manchester Metropolitan University (Accelerator Grants), on the impact of different forms of housing provision on everyday life and wellbeing for people ageing with HIV in England, Italy and Spain.

In 2020-2021 I was part of the research project “A Manifesto for Pandemic Sexual and Gendered Citizenships: Practicing Urgent Witnessing” funded by the Leicester Institute for Advanced Studies, bringing together scholars based in/working on different contexts (England; India; Ireland; Italy; Mexico; Trinidad) to explore, question and theorize how the pandemic and lockdown have exacerbated inequalities and vulnerabilities for gender and sexual minority groups specifically around social cohesion.

In 2018-20 I was the recipient of a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions International Fellowship (grant number 747110) to investigate the life choices of different generations of gay men living with HIV in England and Italy.

In 2016-2018 I worked in Ireland as a postdoctoral researcher on two externally-funded projects in the field of urban geography, notably vacancy and ‘smart’ redevelopment (‘The New Urban Ruins’ led by Dr Cian O’Callaghan, Trinity College Dublin; ‘The Programmable City’ led by Prof Rob Kitchin at Maynooth University).
