Sue Pell is a Visiting Fellow in the Sociology Department at Goldsmiths. She holds a two year Postdoctoral Fellowship awarded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Sue completed her graduate training at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada, where she wrote an interdisciplinary dissertation titled “Publics in Formation: An Analysis of Woodward’s Contentious Redevelopment, 1995-2002” in which she examines the politics and rhetoric of an anti-gentrification campaign. Her work has focused on social housing and anti-poverty movements and the process of public formations, exploring emergent citizenship practices, public spheres, and possibilities for democratic participation. Sue’s research interests include questions of collective identity, discursive practices, and social transformation through studies of social movements, media, and uses of urban space. Currently, she is investigating social movement archives and documentation practices of radical political groups.
