Research and Professional Interests
My interests fall broadly in the areas of economic, financial, and urban geography. I am particularly attracted to questions about the economic or financial security of individuals and households, and the ‘financialization of everyday life’. Themes of interest include income and wealth inequality, inter-generational inequality, household debt, pension systems and ‘pension fund capitalism’, and the cultures and politics of housing and mortgage markets. I am currently conducting research on household financial management practices—with emphasis on investing activities—in the post-financial crisis period, and the ways in which these intersect with housing and the development of FinTech. I am also studying the economic geography of FinTech in Canada with focus on the development of this sector in Toronto.
