I am a Tutor in Urban studies. I have two M.Sc. degrees (International Planning Studies and Urban and Housing Practice) from the University of Glasgow. I completed my PhD in Urban Studies which focused on neighbourhood attachment and social participation in Chinese cities. I am primarily a qualitative researcher, with interests in the area of urbanisation and its social challenges, such as urban inequalities, social exclusion, neighbourhood poverty, and urban governance.
