Methods in Social and Spatial Analysis (contributor)

I consider teaching an integral part of a rich intellectual life and enjoy witnessing discovery in the classroom. My approach to teaching is animated by a critical spatial pedagogy that emphasises how relations of power both actively produce and are produced by spatial arrangements. In the classroom, I strive to link students’ understanding of everyday spatial practices to broader questions of political economy and globalisation through ethnographic case studies.

I work with PhD students who want to develop theoretically-driven, empirically rigorous research projects that are intellectually creative and (in most cases) based on field research. Potential PhD students interested in questions of displacement, political rule, urban governance, violence, or development, in South Asia or elsewhere, are encouraged to review my research profile and contact me by email if they think there is a good intellectual fit.

My primary teaching contribution at the LSE is to the BA in Human Geography and to the master’s programme (MSc) in Urbanisation and Development.
