Research Interests
My research interests reflect a theoretically informed commitment to empirical sociological research that makes connections with other fields and disciplines. The substantive strands of my research represent interfaces between sociology, social psychology, cultural studies, art history, anthropology, communication studies, linguistics and philosophy. My commitment to interdisciplinary dialogue is reflected in my teaching, research and publications. My current research interests can be divided into four strands.
They are as follows:
- Post-devolution Wales, Culture, Citizenship and Identity
- Green Expertise and Sustainable Dwelling
- The Public Sphere, the Law and Democratic Communication
- Social Theory and Interaction
I am interested in supporting and supervising PhD projects in these areas.
