From the author's website: Senior Lecturer in Humanities and Design Architecture at the University of Sheffield Before joining SSoA I was an Associate Professor in Architecture and MArch and MA in Architecture programme leader at the Plymouth University. I have worked as an architect and urban designer in Poland, Latvia and Ireland. I worked as a Visiting Professor at the Geography Department at the University of Latvia and as a researcher at National Institute for Regional and Spatial Analysis, Maynooth, Ireland. My main research interest lays in urban theory in the context of post-secular philosophy, I am interested in evolution of (post)socialist cities, crisis of the contemporary neoliberal city model and urban re-industrialisation.
