Publicatons add a piece that is methodological researching electronic interfaces (‘device, Vibration, Tone’, Cultural Geographies, 2017), a merchant account associated with experimental work of interface developers (‘Digital user interface design and energy’, Environment and preparing D: community and area, 2018), and a paper interrogating exactly how borrowers relate genuinely to pay day loans as cash, never as credit, financial obligation and finance (‘Indebted life and cash culture’, Economy and Society, 2019).
