Academy Research Fellow
Adjunct Professor in Urban Geography
I’m working in the Department of Social Research as an Academy Research Fellow. Throughout my career I’ve done research on issues which relate to social power relations and followed the path of critical social science. Social justice is my passion. Although my ‘intellectual home’ at the moment is clearly in the international community of surveillance studies, my work has always been quite multi-disciplinary. I find it more important to focus on interesting, complex and timely issues, than keep strictly to a particular discipline. Hence, many fields such as critical geography, criminology, media studies, science and technology studies, gender studies, political science, sociology and social policy, have become familiar to me, as time has passed. Currently, my research deals with webcams, surveillance, urban security politics, subcultures and emotional space.
