About
My research interests include the relationship between nature and society, with a particular focus on food production/consumption and animal welfare; the politics of knowledge and alternative forms of education; and social movements and civil society.
My work is influenced mostly by social movement theory, perspectives on adult education, and the writings of Pierre Bourdieu, as well as ethnography and visual sociology.
I am currently involved in a comparative study of European allotment gardens, and a small scale exploration of the politics of graffiti art, in both cases using a combination of interviews and photographs as the main methods of data collection.
