I am a Senior Lecturer in Housing Studies; Director of Teaching and Learning (Urban Studies and Social Policy) and Director of the Postgraduate Diploma/MSc Housing Studies Programme at the School of Social and Political Sciences (Urban Studies and Social Policy) University of Glasgow. My research interests are broadly in the field of housing studies and include the meaning of home, the geography of harm and the social construction of housing tenure. I teach courses on housing inequality, homelessness, housing policy and health policy. My scholarship interests are in feedback literacy, audience response tools, online learning and critical pedagogy. Before joining the University of Glasgow, I taught at Sheffield Hallam University from 1991-1996 and at Cardiff University from 1996-2019. Whilst at Cardiff, I twice won the "most innovative member of staff" title at the university-wide Enriching Student Life Awards. Since joining the University of Glasgow I have twice been shortlisted for University-wide teaching awards and in 2024 launched an online micro-credential course on homelessness funded by the Scottish Funding Council. I am Vice Chair of the Housing Studies Association and a management board member of the Chartered Institute of Housing Scotland.
