Currently doing research on:
1. Military land use in the UK (the armed forces' claims to space;
military use and management of the defence estate; case study of the
Otterburn Training Area)
2. Social and economic implications of the restructuring of the defence
estate in rural areas (e.g. what happens in rural areas when you close down
an airbase).
3. Rural development programmes in the UK and Europe (Objective 5b)
4. Relationships between rurality and militarism (how different social
constructions of rurality, gender identity and military activity
intersect).
