I completed my undergraduate degree in development studies majoring in Urban and Regional Development at the University of Newcastle in 2009, using non-representational theory to explore the enactment of public space in inner Newcastle through the L!vesites ‘Winter Heat’ events. Along with my Development Studies degree, my Bachelor of Science (Architecture) and professional work led to me enrolling in my PhD in Human Geography at Newcastle. Through my research I aim to unpack the process of creating global architectural forms and to open a dialogue into planning for architecture in global cities. I am also the NSW co-chair for the Australian Early Career Urban Research Network (AECURN). Primary Supervisor: Associate Professor Jenny Cameron.
