Research interests
My current research, supported by the Urban Studies Foundation, explores urban expressions of affective politics by interrogating the emergent theoretical and activist movement of Acid Communism; a term coined by the late cultural theorist, Mark Fisher. I am particularly interested in how individual desire and social movements might be co-created. I have a background and ongoing interest in geographies of religion and spirituality, especially where they intersect with political geographies. As such, I continue to monitor and contribute to debates regarding postsecularity.
I am interested in:
- Geographies of religion, spirituality, and postsecularity
- Spiritual Activism
- The Politics of Self-Care
- Affective Politics
- The Ethics/Politics Interface
- Transformative Justice
- Decolonial Politics and Indigenous Geographies
- Scotland and the Gàidhealteachd
- Geopoetics
- Participatory Art and Methods
I am currently on the editorial board for Stravaig, the journal of the Scottish Centre for Geopoetics.
