Research

Research Interests  

I am an economic and political geographer whose research is centrally concerned with the institutions and politics of local and regional development. Recent work has contributed to debates in Evolutionary Economic Geography and to questions of urban and regional adaptation and change in particular. Since 2021, I have been leading an international project titled 'Beyond left behind places' with colleagues in CURDS/UCL, France & Germany. My future research agenda involves linking urban and regional development to sustainability transitions through new projects on: new renewable energy paths for coastal economies; labour market transition in energy intensive regions; and, joined-up sustainability transition at the community level (as part of a new ESRC Centre for equitable and sustainable low carbon living, led by the University of Manchester).
