Research interests:
My research interests are primarily in cultural and historical geographical themes which include; feminist geographies, gender and masculinity, geographies of home, memory, identity and belonging, material and visual culture.
PhD Research:
My research is concerned with meanings and geographies of home and masculine emotional relationships with home. Through focussing on the relationships that men have with their homes, I seek to disrupt assumptions about masculine experiences of home and explore how emotional connections with homes are formed, develop and change over time.
