Research Fellow
I am a cultural geographer with a background and training in landscape architecture. My research seeks to advance geographical and interdisciplinary perspectives on memory, health and place, with a view to shaping innovations in placemaking practice. My research explores the contested futures of ruins, cultural relics, and heritage landscapes, most recently in post-industrial Glasgow and Central Scotland – a region that is a crucible and catalyst for research into memory and place, strewn as it is with such uncertain landscapes and landmarks. Personal and collective memory, and its part in articulations of place – of the past, present, and (possible) future – is as a core theme and concern in my work.
