Personal profile

Current Research Interests

My work considers social, political and environmental processes affecting social and spatial inequalities in health. In particular I have focused on the role of place in understanding health outcomes and health-related behaviours, including smoking status, physical activity and obesity. With colleagues at Edinburgh and Glasgow he has established the Centre for Research on Environment, Society & Health (CRESH).

Between 2016 and 2023 I was the Director of the ESRC Scottish Graduate School of Social Science Doctoral Training Parternship which provides funding and training to social science doctoral students across Scotland. I was also Editor-in-Chief of the international journal Health & Place, (2014-23). I am currently Senior Editor (Medical Geography) of Social Science & Medicine as well as co Editor-in-Chief (with Professor Susan Elliott) of Wellbeing, Space & Society.
