Industrial heritage and post-industrial communities
I am an interdisciplinary researcher with an interest in the transformation of post-industrial sites, heritage, landscape and communities. My current research focuses primarily on the material, social and political dimensions of post-industrial landscape and sites, integrating archaeological techniques with a range of perspectives and methods from the social sciences including historical research, photography, and ethnography. I am currently an Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellow, based at the Ruhr Universität Bochum, Germany. My project –Lighting the Ruhr / Die Beleuchtung der Ruhr is studying the use of light and lighting technology at industrial heritage sites in the Ruhrgebiet.
