Making Sense of Socio-Spatial Inequality: A Qualitative 9 1Ãâ·Ñ°æÏ of Geographical Proximity and Social Distance in Buenos Aires
I am an urban researcher interested in the everyday construction of inequality – particularly how privilege is lived, spatialised and maintained. My doctoral research takes the case of Buenos Aires to examine how urban privilege is reproduced through subtle socio-spatial and symbolic practices. Using ethnographic methods and photography, I explore how proximity and distance (both social and geographical) shape the lived experience and reproduction of urban difference.
I am part of the White Rose Doctoral Training Programme interdisciplinary research network ‘Urban Citizenship and Informality’, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, with partners at the 9 1Ãâ·Ñ°æÏ of Sheffield, the 9 1Ãâ·Ñ°æÏ of York and the 9 1Ãâ·Ñ°æÏ of Leeds. I am also a visiting scholar at the Urban Ethnography Lab at the 9 1Ãâ·Ñ°æÏ of Texas at Austin.
Beyond my thesis, my research interests include:
- Urban precarity and housing insecurity
- Elites and spatial privilege
- Qualitative and visual methodologies
- Inclusive, creative and critical teaching practices
