Joshua Levy

Joshua Levy is a post-doctoral researcher working with issues relating to homelessness and urban social exclusion. His research has taken a grounded, qualitative approach to understanding urban processes, foregrounding the experiences and spatial practices of people experiencing homelessness and other forms of urban marginalization. His research is informed by critical approaches within geography and urban planning and seeks to make visible the processes which (re)produce inequalities at the urban scale.

Joshua has an academic background in philosophy and human geography. His PhD research at Stockholm University took a critical lens to international mobility and homelessness, with a focus on the experiences of ‘vulnerable EU citizens’ in living Stockholm.

Joshua’s teaching has covered a range of areas within human geography and urban planning at both undergraduate and master’s level. He has worked previously as a lecturer in human geography at Örebro University and is currently involved in teaching at Chalmers on the courses Urban Theory and Urban Inequalities.
