My research cuts across urban, political, and critical human geography and explores questions of urban space, place, power, politics, and platforms. I draw from mixed methods including site-based and digital ethnography and social media analysis, through a comparative urban lens. I seek a more just, inclusive, and equitable built and digital urban environment. 

In particular, I focus on:

• Urban public space offline and online
• The political geographies of the right wing and authoritarianism 
• The relationship between digital platforms and the formation of identity, community, and urban place
• Creative geographies as both anchored in place and digitally networked
• Cultural activism / creative resistance in comparative urban contexts
