I’m a lecturer in sociology, teaching various undergraduate modules in sociology and qualitative research methods and methodologies. I have a range of research interests, predominantly in the fields of urban sociology and visual sociology. In my research, I study urban sense-making of different groups in cities, for instance university students, and how these are shaped by neoliberal urban politics and Higher Education policies, e.g. I have critically explored the implications of ‘student experience talk’ amongst students for their urban practices. I am also interested in exploring the use of the visual in the study of urban life and the types of realities that visual methodologies are capturing. Besides that, I am also a qualitative researcher that has worked with and for a range of urban organisations in Germany and the UK and I’m keen on strengthening the collaborations between academia and practice.
I teach on the following modules:
- 4100SOC Sociological Imaginations
- 4103SOC Researching the Everyday
- 4105SOC Global Issues and Society
- 4108SOC Cultural Sociology
- 5102SOC Research in Action
