Biography :

I am a Senior Lecturer in Human Geography at the University of Manchester. I completed my PhD at University College London and have previously worked at Cardiff University and the University of Nottingham as a researcher. My intellectual interests focus on the social and spatial enrolment of digital technologies as well as research on urban historical geography, the politics of maps and visualisation, and developing a cultural understanding of infrastructures.

I curated the well known Web-based Atlas of Cyberspaces (from 1995-2007) and have co-authored several books covering aspects of spatiality of computer technology and the internet: Mapping Cyberspace (Routledge, 2000), Atlas of Cyberspace (Addison-Wesley, 2001) and Code/Space (MIT Press, 2011). I have also co-edited a series of books, focused on the social and cultural meanings of mapping and the development of cartographic ideas: Geographic Visualization (John Wiley & Sons, 2008) and Rethinking Maps (Routledge, 2009), Classics in Cartography (Wiley-Blackwell, 2010), The Map Reader (Wiley-Blackwell, 2011), Mapping - Critical Concepts in Geography (Routledge, 2015) and Mapping Across Academia (Springer, 2017). I am also currently working on two further edited books.

Much of my empirical research is currently focused on Manchester and employs archival and visual methodologies, as well as digitisation and public engagement activities. In this regard I have co-curated several high-profile public exhibitions, including Mapping Manchester (2009), Infra_MANC (2012) and Making Post-war Manchester (2016).
