I am a Wellcome Fellow in the Department of Sociology at the University of Manchester, UK. His research covers several areas of the dementia economy, with an emphasis on using social theory and methods to understand dementia as a political entity. I have published on anti-ageing technoscience markets, psychiatric biomarker discovery economy and urban cognitive ageing. My lecturing spans medical sociology, the sociology of ageing, research methods and ethical governance. In my current research, I am using creative methods to document the experiences of passengers living with dementia as they navigate public transport.
