Biography
I am an urban political geographer interested in understanding the changing socio-economic dynamics of cities and their changing effects on urban communities. I gained a PhD in Geography from Trinity College and am currently a Lecturer in Human Geography. I have a particular interest in property development and processes of financialisation, urban regeneration, gentrification, planning policy and post-crisis processes of neoliberalism. I am currently researching the myriad ways in which processes of financialisation are affecting cities drawing particular attention to the increasing integration between real estate, finance and urban planning. I've recently completed a jointly edited book (with Andrew MacLaran, TCD) examining the reshaping of Dublin city through a range of neoliberal urban policies (Palgrave Macmillan, 2014). I have previously acted as Director of the Forum for Irish Urban Studies (2005-2010) and have been a visiting fellow at KU Leuven (2016) and the School of Environmental and Life Sciences, University of Newcastle, New South Wales (2012).
