Dr. marcia r. england
As an urban, cultural and feminist geographer, my research interests are in three areas: access to public space; the politics of representations; and the socio-spatial regulation of marginalized persons. My current research centers on the regulation of public space and how it relates to violence against homeless persons. I have also begun a collaborative project with Michael Leyshon (University of Exeter-Cornwall Campus) looking at embodied drinking practices of rural young people.
Other interests include geographies of media and popular culture. I have written articles (published and currently under review) on horror films and internet pornography, using a feminist lens to understand geographies of the body.
