Research interests:

My research examines the politicized rhetoric surrounding public space redevelopment, and the form and function of public spaces in cities in France and Canada. I frequently draw on ethnographic and sensory research methods to consider how cultural identities are imprinted on urban landscapes, and examine the material implications of urban planning and heritage protection policies.
