I joined the Department of Sociology and Policy at Aston University in September 2015. Prior to joining Aston I was at the University of Oxford (Oxford Programme for the Future of Cities, School of Anthropology & Museum Ethnography ).

My research interests include: social and economic inequality, the relationship between social class and social-symbolic borders, gentrification and social-spatial exclusion, cultural sociology, cultural participation, sociology of youth and education, gender inequality and migration. I work with both quantitative/qualitative/mixed methods with a particular interest in ethnographic research methods and multiple correspondence analysis.
