Research project supported by the Centre for Commons Organizing, Values Equalities, and Resilience (COVER) at the University of Essex, and part of the Decolonizing and Queering Commons Research cluster. The project explores community ownership and co-operative models as a response to the closure of queer spaces and gentrification.

ESRC-funded Global Talent Exchange program (2025) exploring queer/feminist approaches to political violence in the UK and Brazil, in partnership with the Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB) and activists/academics based in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and João Pessoa. For the program, we organized a two-day workshop in João Pessoa at UFPB and a workshop in London at SOAS. The findings are published in a report (forthcoming) and were presented at the British International Studies Association (BISA) conference.

Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowship project (2020 - 2024) exploring the links between LGBTQ+ rights, corporate power, and hierarchy across the global South with particular focus on Kenya, Brazil and Argentina. The project aims to generate new insights and theorisations into the relationship between homocapitalism and LGBTQ+ politics, with particular interest in how these rework understanding of progress and homophobia.

Ethnographic project (2016 - 2020) on the queer politics of diversity in London. I conducted research on LGBTQ-friendly corporations and queer activists from The Friends of the Joiners Arms resisting the closure of a local gay pub. The research situates inclusion in a longer trajectory of capitalist accumulation, gentrification, the closure of LGBTQ+ spaces. It traces how inclusion - understood as a ‘cluster of promises’ - is experienced on the ground and who benefits from the promulgation of these promises.
