I am a geographer whose interests are situated in the intersections of political and social geographies. My work considers the politics and possibilities of everyday social and power relations, and how people's situated negotiations of wider-scale processes (e.g. globalisation) can inform agendas for social justice. This has led me to conduct research on a wide range of empirical subjects, including far-right political movements, backpacking, labour, and the so-called 'sharing economy'. I also draw heavily from research and theoretical approaches beyond geography, including organisation studies, anthropology and political theory. My primary theoretical framework is driven by anarchist thought and practice, and I have been central in developing the nascent field of anarchist geographies. I am currently a committee member of the RGS-IBG Political Geography Research Group and advisory board member of Edge Fund, a grassroots funding body for social movements.
Bywgraffiad
After completing an undergraduate degree in Philosophy and Politics at the University of Liverpool, I won an Economic and Social Research Council 1+3 award to undertake a Masters and PhD at the School of Geography at Queen Mary, University of London. My MA thesis investigated DIY forms of architecture and community planning among the 1970s squatting movement in London, and my doctoral research considered the spatial strategies of anarchist-inspired forms of horizontal community and workplace organisation.
At the completion of my PhD in 2010, I was employed on a Joseph Rowntree Foundation project at the University of Glasgow, working with Andrew Cumbers, David Featherstone, Danny MacKinnon and Kendra Strauss. This project used three case studies to explore the lived negotiations of, and responses to, globalisation and labour market change in the UK.
Following this, I took two years outside formal academic employment, travelling and volunteering across Europe and Asia. On my return to the UK, I secured a two-year postdoctoral research fellowship in the Department of Human Geography at Stockholm University, in order to pursue several themes of research which continue to the present day.
I came to Cardiff to join the School of Geography and Planning as a Lecturer in Human Geography in September 2015.

My research to date has engaged with a range of empirical topics, largely in the Global North, across a number of interweaving themes:
- Multiculturalism and living with diversity: this has included work on fascism and anti-fascism, encounters of difference, and labour market change.
- Agency and grassroots mobilisation: exploring issues such as labour agency, spatial strategy, and alternative grassroots economies.
- Territory and the state in a shifting world: this has involved critical engagements with the state and 'statism', activist territorialities, and the interplay of territory and mobility.
- Anarchist theory: exploring notions such as autonomy, self-management and mutual aid as both analytical tools and normative agendas.
I welcome enquiries regarding PhD supervision on any area of my expertise.
