I am a Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Regional Economic and Social Research, at Sheffield Hallam University. Specialising in housing and community development, my work focuses on the affordability and supply of housing, and the collective ownership of physical assets. I have a background in social policy and housing delivery, with a specific focus on community-led housing, housing for older people, community ownership of assets and alternative housing tenures. My academic writing has centred on the financialisation of housing production and collective solutions to housing need.
