Profile Summary

I am a qualitative researcher with over ten years' experience in human geography. My main areas of research interest are in labour migration and European migration, particularly in the context of Brexit. I also explore the experiences of migrants through issues around social diversity, encounters and integration. From a business perspective my research has explored ethnic entrepreneurship and enterprise more broadly. Methodologically I am interested in qualitative research through interviews, focus groups, ethnography and developing novel methods. I am experienced in writing for both an academic and public audience.
