My research interests are in cultural and historical geography, particularly these two areas:

The first concerns historical and contemporary geographies of drink, drunkenness, and temperance. I have published on nineteenth- and twentieth-century drinking places, constructions of drink as a spatial problem, and the connections between temperance, medicine and life assurance, working with Dr Shaun French at the University of Nottingham.

The second concerns literary geographies and representations of space, particularly in non-realist genres (science fiction, horror, ghost stories, utopias, etc). As well as editing a collection on geographies of science fiction with Rob Kitchin, I have written about William Gibson, H. P. Lovecraft, and and other writers.
