Research Interest
My broad research interests centre on changes in cities of the global south and how certain frontline conditions, such as urbanisation, population surge, inequality, poverty, and dietary change, create uneven landscapes. Over the years, I have focused on urban agriculture and food security while profiling those who practice urban agriculture and where it is practiced. Within the context of urban planning, I am also interested in the spatio-temporal dynamics of urban areas. My new research framework is to understand the undermining roles of power relations in fostering conflicts, migration, and city fragmentation, as well as how they create new political geographies. These new frontiers are an attempt to encourage a more situated urban political ecology, slow violence, and necropolitics.
