I am anthropologist and Senior Lecturer in Management at the University of Essex, where I teach modules on social economies and alternative understandings of value and financing (eg. community finance). My research is on queer spaces and queer political economy. In my work, I have looked at how the incorporation of queerness into the productive spheres of capital in aspiring ‘global’ cities such as London, Buenos Aires, Nairobi and São Paulo marks out certain bodies and communities for dispossession. I am currently developing a project on queer ecologies approaches to land and value management in the Northeast of Brazil. I completed my PhD and Leverhulme Early Career Research Fellowship at the University of Westminster in the Department of Organizations, Economies & Societies and Politics & International Relations. I have published work in journals including Sexualities, Organization Studies, Gender, Work & Organization and the International Feminist Journal of Politics. I am the author of The Gentrification of Queer Activism (Bristol University Press, 2023). Since 2021 I also sit on the Management Committee for The Friends of the Joiners Arms, a Community Benefit Society that aims to open London’s first community-run, community-owned, queer venue.
