Overview
My research is at the grand intersection of inequality, its spatial expressions and its management within cities. I am interested more specifically in inequality as it manifests itself in terms of mental health, substance abuse treatment, homelessness, precarious migrants, gentrification and the voluntary sector. I am also interested in the forces arrayed against inequality, including a critical articulation of social and spatial resilience.
