Bio/Research

I am interested in the many cultural conflicts that arise between people over the use, design, control, representation and identity of places. My study of both the material (physical) and immaterial (social, symbolic) aspects of Western Landscapes focuses on four inter-related themes:

Cultural Studies - consumption, cultural politics, postmodernism, semiotics, space;

Gender - masculinities.
