My current research focuses primarily on the causes and consequences of global urbanization, the political economy of urban governance, and sustainable city futures. I completed bachelors degrees in economics and literature at the University of California Santa Cruz, and MSc and PhD degrees in the Department of International Development at the London School of Economics. I draw on on theoretical insights and methodological tools from the fields of demography, economics, geography, political science and sociology. I am currently working on a book about How we became an urban species, supported by a 2-year Leverhulme Research Fellowship.
