Broadly speaking, I'm interested in the socio-spatial performance of markets and I take a market studies approach to study them in combination with social theory, especially the work of Henri Lefebvre.

Currently, my research explores how micro-entrepreneurs in Brazilian favelas manage to engage in economic activity amidst stigmatisation, violence, and poverty. From an Actor-Network Theory (ANT)/Market Studies perspective, I analyse how a market for favela tourism is sustained. After spending months in Rio's largest favela - Rocinha - a central point of this case is the role of social media and other digital technologies as a tool for local entrepreneurs to remake the favela space into a functioning market.

My work from this research was published in Journal of Business Research.
