Thank you for kindly giving me the space to share a little bit of my research online! 😊 TLDR: gender matters as private automobility is deeply affective through gendered logics; a car-sharing service’s success also depends on how ‘good’ the experience feels against driving a privately owned car.

Thank you to TGRG and Edward Elgar for the generous support at the #RGSIBG2025, and to the amazing session organisers for putting together three very insightful TGRG sessions.

A very fruitful and meaningful piece with @sieunlee.bsky.social and Maryam Altaf! :) We also reflect on the importance of researcher self-care and offer some practical recommendations. 🫂
A paper I co-authored with @yifan-liu.bsky.social and Maryam Altaf is published in Area! We reflect on our experiences of ride-along methods to consider the situational risks that arise for researchers. It was a pleasure to work on this with my dear friends as a first publication of mine :)
