Personal profile
Research Interests
Much of my work focuses on urban transformations and capitalism, thinking specifically about the complex relations between state power, finance, land use, rent, rent controls, housing, debt, gentrification, and stigmatisation.
I have also published on Italian anarchism, Henri Lefebvre, and the relation between anarchism and Marxism in geographical thought.
Teaching
I am a passionate teacher and currently lead a week-long residential fieldtrip to Athens, Greece, looking at gentrification, touristification, urban development and the legal challenges faced by refugees in relation to their right to the city.
My course Capital, Land and Power charts the relationship between the evolution of capitalism and the remaking of the Scottish landscape, beginning with the slave trade and ending with the financialisation of 'wild' land.
