My research cuts across urban, political, and cultural geography and explores questions of urban space, place, power, politics, and how they relate to digital platforms.

In my work I utilize a mix of qualitative methods, including site-based ethnographies in comparative urban settings from Southeast Asia, to the UK and Central Europe, to the United States; as well as digital ethnography and mixed media analyses.

In particular, I focus on:

• The nature of urban public space offline and online
• The political geographies of authoritarianism and the far right
• The relationship between digital platforms and the formation of identity, community, and understandings of place
• Representations and understandings of the urban through mixed media, popular culture, film, literature
• Cultural activism / creative resistance in comparative urban contexts
• Masculinities across changing landscapes 

I have authored academic papers and chapters on the above themes, including two edited volumes (2017 and 2022) and an upcoming monograph entitled The Illiberal City: Comparative Urban (Re)actions through Space, Territory, and Culture (Bristol University Press).
