Biography
My PhD explores the role that smartphones now play in the everyday lives of asylum seekers in the UK. I'm interested in how everyday smartphone practices mediate the spatio-temporal experience of waiting within the asylum system. Mobilizing an intersectional feminist approach to research within digital geographies, I explore the everyday, intimate, and affective digtial encounters with the state (and beyond) that asylum seekers now expereince through the smartphone screen.
I use ethnographic methods informed by participatory action research.
I am also a PGR representative for the RGS Digital Geographies Research Group. We run a ‘Digital Shorts’ YouTube channel where ECRs and PGRs can get there work out there in a visual, interactive format. For any enquiries about contributions just send me an email.
