Research Interests

The significance of time and space to the regulation of subjects and construction of gendered subjectivity, with specific regards to consumption, advertising, organisational analysis and educational policy.

I am currently writing a series of monographs informed by my decades of critical research into gender, finance capital and advertising inscriptive technologies. My recent monographs, in this Adsensory series, are entitled: "Adsensory Urban Ecology" Vol.1 and Vol.2.
