A community development practitioner with roughly thirteen years practice experience, I've worked with a range of local and national organisations, primarily centring my work on anarcha-feminist practice, anti-racist initatives, programmes for social inclusion, digital literacy for the elderly, youth anti-homelessness projects, and services supporting queer inclusion. In addition, I continue to volunteer with anti-racism initatives (including programmes addressing anti-Roma and anti-gypsyism in Glasgow), and run a Community Hub - Foodbank Partnership in Edinburgh's Tollcross area. I serve as Chair for the Adult Learning Project (Edinburgh), as Treasurer for the Community Development Journal, and as a trustree for The W.H.Y. Project (Edinburgh).
Research interests
I'm eager to engage in research that exmaines how individuals, community campaigns, and organisations have sought to navigate, challenge, adapt to, or oppose austerity. I'm also interested in supervising projects that relate to social inclusion, community work, hyperlocalised initatives and community organising, queer and anarchist practices, and dialogical approaches to education in informal and non-traditional settings.
Grants
From Streets Clashes to the Sud Curva: Formulating and Enacting Community & The Politics of Radical Leftist Ultra Movements in Contemporary Europe
University of Glasgow, GBP 2,800
'The project investigates how community is formulated, understood, and enacted within left-wing ultra groups (understood as organised supporters, with somewhat-established boundaries, and track records of choreographed performance in or out of stadia). Whereas the literature largely recognises right-leaning ultra supporter groups as closely related to - indeed, frequently inspired by - 1980’s-1990’s English supporter hooliganism, left-wing ultra groups have been observed fostering partially inclusive associations, utilising the profile of their clubs to support local communities. The questions this project will address relate to who is involved in these associations (e.g. do they perpetuate existing exclusionary practices towards queer people?); what these associations do in and out of their respective stadia; and what it means to be involved with such bodies for those identifying as members socially, emotionally, and culturally. The project will utilise Biographical Interpretive Narrative Methods, thereby affording participants agency over how they communicate their experiences and stories.'
