While I have wide ranging interests in development and critical human geography, I currently focus on youth migration in Latin America and the U.S./Mexico border region. In recent years, I have worked extensively with migrants in Mexican and American immigration detention centres. My research explores issues surrounding youth, rights, inequality, and violence.

My past research includes work concerning: street children, street vendors and beggars; policing and zero tolerance; research ethics and methodologies; identity, power and inequality; pedagogy and geographic education; and environmental policy. My geographic focus is also broad and I have undertaken field research in Honduras, Mexico and Ecuador, as well as China, Vietnam, and Scotland.

Given my current research interests, I welcome students interested in youth, migration, asylum, and/or immigration detention, particularly in Latin America and the US/Mexico border region. However, I am open to other topics as well; please don鈥檛 hesitate to get in touch.
