My research crosses disciplinary boundaries, bringing together ideas from Economics, Philosophy, Sociology and the Built Environment to better understand the world we live in.

In my research the role of infrastructure in supporting markets, I am exploring the notion of social space, as defined by the philosopher Henri Lefebvre, within economic theory. Social space essentially defines space as humans experience it. There is a complicated tangle of relationships between markets and infrastructure that this concept of social space helps unravel.

As an educator, I am passionate about making economics accessible and relevant to everyday life. I have designed and taught a wide range of Economics courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, consistently receiving strong student and peer evaluations.

In addition to my academic and teaching roles, I have contributed to academic governance and the administration of higher education institutions in the UK.
