Of special interest is the relation between liberal logics, technological innovation and the concrete organization of markets. Published work explores: the role of disclosure as a legal technology in reshaping the governance of financial markets; the development of on-screen trading technologies within stock markets; affordable housing and development; the construction of a mass market for homeownership in the U.S; and the cultural politics of foreign investment within dynamic housing markets. I am currently working on a writing project that examines how scientific knowledge of nature is enrolled into systems of valuation and property relations, focusing on the associated knowledge practices that animate contemporary circuits of speculative mining finance. I teach across each level of the undergraduate and graduate curriculum. Modules I offer include: Researching Globalisation (L1); Geographies of Uneven Development (L2); The Mediterranean: Exploring Dynamic Environments (L2); Geographies of Global Finance (L3); Critical Approaches to Human Geography (MA); Methods and Research Design (MA); Geographies of Markets (MA). I am currently the School's Year 3 Co-ordinator and its Disability Officer. Previous roles included Head of Undergraduate Teaching - Geography (2008-2013), Director of International Programs (Erasmus, Study Abroad and Study USA) (2003-2011) and Advisor of Studies (2005-2010). I have undertaken consultancy work on affordable housing and finance for UN-HABITAT Iraq Programme, Habitat for Humanity Northern Ireland and the Leeds Financial Services Initiative.
