I am a geographer and currently work as a research associate at the OpenSpace Research Centre at the Open University. My PhD looked at how remnants are incorporated in contemporary urban development initiatives in Rome.

Prior to moving to the UK, I worked for a decade in Aboriginal research and policy in the Government of Canada.
I am not sure what or where I’ll be doing this project, but I’m excited about its openness and potentialities. I am definitely more comfortable behind the camera, so perhaps this public engagement initiative is exactly what the doctor ordered…
