Research Expertise
Research Interests
My research and supervision interests include, broadly speaking, critical neuroscience and critical psychology. I am happy to discuss supervising students who are familiar with qualitative methods. I would be interested in supervising students as part of the Our home/their property: The renter’s life project. This project aims to document and theorise the social practices and power relations that shape tenant-landlord relationships, including mapping their intergenerational consequences materially, socially, and psychologically.
