RESEARCH INTERESTS:

The major theme binding my research interests is that of regional and institutional governance – the arrangements and negotiations which create and change geographies at local and global scales. I have conducted research on aspects of economic, political and urban governance. I seek to expand my understanding of the geographies of governance in a diversifying research program, including development of an innovative new program based on spatial polity and practice in social institutions.
