A brief introduction…

At Oxford, I work between Oxford Lifelong Learning and the School of Geography and the Environment. I am an Official Fellow at Kellogg College, Oxford, an International Research Affiliate of the Centre for Sustainability at the University of Otago (Aotearoa NZ), and a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. From October 2025 to February 2026, I was a visiting scholar at Cornell University’s College of Architecture, Art and Planning, funded by the US-UK Fulbright Commission.

As a geographer, with research mostly (but not solely) focuses on transport and mobilities, I seek to understand pressing social and ecological challenges and do so in collaboration with colleagues around the world and across different disciplines. My research is broadly concerned with transformations towards sustainability, logistical mobilities, aeromobilities and academic travel. I currently lead a UKRI ESRC funded project called ‘Trucking Lives’ (2022-2026) which focuses on mobile work in road freight, and INCLUCity+, a Driving Urban Transitions project (2026-2028).

I have (co)authored over 90 journal articles, 20 book chapters and a number of reports, and edited two books. You can find further details and access to my research publications on Google Scholar or the publications page.

My research has been funded by the UKRI’s Economic & Social Research Council, Global Challenges Research Fund, and Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, the US-UK Fulbright Commission, the Oxford John Fell Fund, the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport, the Norwegian Research Council, Aotearoa NZ’s Ministry for Business, Innovation and Employment, the NZ Federation of Graduate Women, amongst others.

I sit on the editorial boards of the Journal of Transport Geography, Journal of Sustainable Tourism, Applied Mobilities, Tourism Geographies and Global Networks, and until 31 December 2024 I was the Editor in Chief of the AAG Review of Books. From January 2027, I will be a co-editor of the TGRG book series ‘Transport, Mobility and Spatial Change’, published by Edward Elgar.

At Oxford, I am the Social Science Division Advocate for Fixed Term Researchers and Research Culture. In this role, I support more than 1000 fixed term research staff working across division’s 15 departments, faculties and schools. Working with the passionate teams in the SSD and across the university, we seek to foster positive and inclusive environments for all research staff, building the structures and enacting changes to improve working conditions. I am also a Harassment Advisor in the School of Geography and the Environment, and at Kellogg College.
