Alan Latham University College London, UK

Alan Latham is another Professor of Human Geography at University College London. His research focuses on sociality, social infrastructure, and the public life of cities more generally. He’s studied those themes in all sorts of places around the world too. In undertaking this work, he’s explored a range of research approaches – including the use of photo-diaries, diary-interviews, social contact logs, and video recording and analysis. He’s interested in doing whatever works to get as close as possible to the realities of people’s experience. Originally from New Zealand, he’s also been in London, and UCL, for quite a long time too.
