About me

I am a social scientist from London. My work examines questions of power at the intersection of housing, land, tech and finance. I have a particular interest in the growing role of housing and land in processes of capital accumulation. My research draws connections between shifting structures of ownership and control and everyday experiences and social relations. Lately, I have been looking at how Silicon Valley is seeking to ‘disrupt’ housing systems with forms financing, control and extraction associated with tech companies. I am also interested in the political economy of land and the role of property in broader questions of inequality and wealth distribution. I take an interdisciplinary social-scientific approach to these issues, drawing on fields including urban studies, economic sociology and critical political economy. My work has appeared in journals including Economy and Society, EPA: Economy and Space and International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, and in newspapers including The Guardian.

I am currently a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at King’s College London. Prior to this, I was an Alex von Humboldt Research Fellow at the Free University of Berlin. I gained my PhD from the London School of Economics in 2023, where I continue to be a Visiting Fellow. Prior to the PhD, I worked as a researcher at LSE Cities.
