Sophie is currently a post-doctoral researcher working on the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) funded research project 'New Urbanisms, New Citizens: children and young people's everyday life and participation in Sustainable Communities.' The research specifically investigates the experiences, issues and needs of young people (aged 11-16) living in new and rapidly-expanding communities in the Milton Keynes-South Midlands (MKSM) Growth Area. Sophie's responsibilities on the project include ethnographic fieldwork in two case study communities, data analysis and dissemination.
