Biography
I am a Professor in the School of Social and Political Sciences in the subject area of Urban Studies. He is also Director of the UK Collaborative Centre for Housing Evidence (CaCHE) funded by ESRC, AHRC and the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and established in 2017. CaCHE is located in the Olympia Building, Bridgeton, in the social sciences research hub. For four years, I was the first director of Policy Scotland, and also a co-director of What Works Scotland co-funded by ESRC and Scottish Government (until taking up the role in CaCHE).
I have been a full time member of staff at the University in various guises since 1989. I was an ESRC research fellow until my appointment as a Lecturer in 1994. After becoming a Senior Lecturer in 1999 and a Reader in 2001, I became a Professor (housing economics) in 2006. I was also Head of the Department of Urban Studies from 2005 to 2010 and Associate Dean of the Faculty of Law, Business and Social Sciences in 2009-10.
My research interests are focused on the economic, financial and policy dimensions of housing. He has carried out research for government departments, ESRC, Joseph Rowntree Foundation, trade bodies, the private sector and international organisations like OECD, the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute and the European Union. Recent research, including projects for the Scottish Funding Council and for the EPSRC, have shifted into the economics and evaluation of net zero and lower carbon retrofit of existing housing.
I was a managing editor of the Urban Studies journal for 10 years. I am a past president of RC43 (housing) of the International Sociological Association and is a former president of the European Real Estate Society. I am a associate editor of Housing, Theory and Society. I was a visiting professor to the University of Amsterdam in 2011. I have acted as advisor to the Scottish Parliament's Infrastructure and Capital Investment Committee and have also worked for the Scottish Parliament's Welfare Reform Committee. I have given evidence to the Scottish Parliament’s Finance Committee, Local Government Committee and the Social Security Committee (previously welfare reform), as well as the Scottish Affairs and Housing and Local Government select committees at Westminster.
I was a member of Lord Best’s recent housing affordability commission, I sit on an MLUHC expert panel considering implementation of the UK Government’s social housing white paper. I am a member of the Northern Ireland government’s housing supply task force and a member of the research and insights advisory panel of The Housing Agency (Ireland). I also chair the advisory board of the Dublin Housing Observatory. I lead (with David Duncan) the University’s Glasgow homelessness initiative.
