Overview

I am in the third year of my PhD research in the School of Geography and Planning, funded by the ESRC Doctoral Training Partnership (2022). Working in partnership with community organisations and a local authority team, my research aims to better understand how refugees experience homelessness and housing policy in Wales.

I take an approach to social research informed by institutional ethnography (IE) and underpinned by the importance of engaging people with lived (and living) expertise in housing and homelessness research and advocacy. I use a range of qualitative and participatory methods.
