Research Areas

Research Overview

Opening up empirical and theoretical possibilities across the culture-economy divide is my central intellectual agenda. Theoretical and conceptual influences stem from my undergraduate and postgraduate training in both economic geography and literary/cultural studies - this translates into research that seeks to interweave analytical frameworks from Marxian and poststructuralist economic geography with the texture of ethnographic methods. Most of my research focuses on the urban and regional scales, and currently I am especially energised by questions of regional transformation amidst historical inheritances.

Research Areas

Research Overview

Opening up empirical and theoretical possibilities across the culture-economy divide is my central intellectual agenda. Theoretical and conceptual influences stem from my undergraduate and postgraduate training in both economic geography and literary/cultural studies - this translates into research that seeks to interweave analytical frameworks from Marxian and poststructuralist economic geography with the texture of ethnographic methods. Most of my research focuses on the urban and regional scales, and currently I am especially energised by questions of regional transformation amidst historical inheritances.
