Dr Jay Emery

I joined the department in September 2019 as a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow. My project looks at processes of alienation and class in post-industrial towns. Research will be couched in my continuing methodological interests in multimodal methods, combining innovative archival research with ethnography and embodied methodologies.

I recently completed a PhD in Human Geography at the University of Leicester where I also obtained first degrees in Historical Studies.

I have published work in Journal of Historical Geography, Emotion, Space and Society, Geography Compass and Journal of Urban Cultural Studies.
