His work examines the spatial, temporal, and ethical dimensions of urban marginality, with critical analyses of shelterisation, welfare state rescaling, and austerity policies. Key themes include the domestication of homelessness, contested urban landscapes, and the implications of emergency models for social inclusion.
Selected publications highlight trends in poverty management during economic crises, the politics of urban spaces, and the intersection of mental health and housing policy.
