Environment
I am a human geographer interested in processes of transformation towards more sustainable and just futures, with a focus on everyday practices, particularly around dwelling (eco-communities and housing cooperatives) and mobilities (transport cooperatives and progressive urban mobility initiatives). I have a particular interest in practices that may lead to transformations towards post-capitalism or post-growth. My work combines STS, more-than-human geographies and affect theories with economic geography and sociology.
I am currently a postdoctoral researcher for the Circular Grassroots project funded by the NWO and the Driving Urban Transitions Consortium. I am also the International Co-Investigator of a British Academy Knowledge Frontier Grant entitled ‘Towards post-growth cities: the cultural politics of mobility transitions in London and Barcelona’.
I hold a PhD from the University of Oxford in Geography and the Environment and have previously completed postdoctoral research as part of the ERC-funded project PROSPERA at the University of Vigo, Spain.
