Thomas Dekeyser is a cultural geographer and urban sociologist. His PhD at the University of Southampton was an ethnographic study into the globally emergent practice of 'subvertising': illegal interventions into urban advertising space (including graffiti scribbles, poster replacement, sabotage, and digital hacking).
