Research interests
Imogen's research focuses on intersectional social justice within the context of diverse urban environments. My work explores how intersecting structures and discourses contribute to and perpetuate systemic inequalities in cities, shaping the everyday lived experiences of marginalised individuals. Within this work, Imogen is attentive to everyday acts of resistance which challenge these structures and discourses.
In her current research role on the VicHealth funded research project ‘Social Connections in Neighbourhood Houses’ she applies this thinking through attention to the infrastructures of care which support social connection; and employs co-designed and community-led methodologies to produce outcomes that are meaningful to local Neighbourhood House communities.
