I graduated from the Department of Geography, University College London
in 1990. I then worked as a Research Assistant in the Department for a
year before working on my PhD, supervised by Jacquie Burgess. Before returning to UCL in 2000 I lectured at Bristol and Exeter.
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.
