MPhil (Cantab), PhD (Cantab)

I am a political and cultural geographer interested in the geopolitics of the future. My research examines how young people navigate the widespread sense of futurelessness at Europe’s margins, where the promises of democracy, capitalist transition, and postwar reconciliation have given way to corruption, cynicism, and—above all—the desire to leave. In my work, I ask: what does politics look like without a future? Using deep qualitative engagement alongside participatory research methods, I draw attention to the lived experiences of enacting and resisting geopolitical realities. Alongside these themes, I have longstanding interests in urban geographies, creative methods and art-academic collaborations, digital geographies, diaspora and migration, and geographies of race and exclusion.
