About

My research focuses on discerning and explaining the complexities associated with the process of land use transition that leads to the formation of cities and regions, specifically, centering on the theoretical and empirical analysis of spatial, political and socioeconomic transformation. I promote the use of interdisciplinary approaches in my research by applying mixed methods across scale, space and time much needed in the Global South.
