Personal profile

Overview

 

My research critically analyses the social consequences of the mutually reinforcing crises of housing affordability and social reproduction in urban environments. I’m interested in grassroots forms of resistance that challenge these crises as well as prefigurative initiatives aiming at the de-commodification and collectivisation of housing and social reproduction.

Currently, I work as a postdoctoral research associate in the project Austerity and Altered Life-Courses, which analyses the impact of austerity on young people in terms of housing, employment and family decisions.
