Her research focuses on three
key themes:
- The way in which representations
of race, including national debates about identity, lead to the
territorialisation of certain spaces as ethnic, and the impact that this has on
modes and methods of community participation, and ultimately on urban
regeneration and city development
- The integration of different
forms of knowledge in decision-making, and the opportunities that this creates
for new ways of engaging with communities. This work
engages with advocacy and community organising, investigating the coproduction
of knowledge with communities.
- An exploration of the creation of inequalities both within historical and contemporary debates about nationhood, colonialism, and postcolonial society in post-war Britain and North America
