I am a Professor of Urban and Environmental Geography. I am a human geographer with interests in sustainable cities, Chinese tourism, environmental issues and human/animal relations.

Research interests

My current research focuses on sustainable cities, transport infrastructure and representations of nature in the construction of a range of environmental issues. Within the area of sustainable cities I am researching migration issues such as counter-urbanisation in Australia. My research on nature includes human-animal relations, particularly thoroughbred breeding and urban rewilding.

Teaching and supervision

Primary supervisor for 4 PhD students (16 PhD completions, 2 research Master and 41 Honours completions as Primary Supervisor). I am also a second supervisor for 5 PhD students.

Currently teaching:

SUST1001 Introduction to Sustainability (first semester, coordinator)

GEOS2121 Environmental and Resource Management (first semester)

SUST5001 Introduction to Sustainability (first semester, coordinator)

ENVI2122 Environmental Governance and Assessment (second semester)

Current projects

LP21 Newsome, T., McManus, P., Houston, D. et al

This project aims to restore locally missing wildlife to urban areas in the northern Sydney region. By working with seven Councils and three State government agencies our project will create a blue print for urban rewilding that is informed by ecological and community values. Expected outcomes include the restoration of ecosystem services provided by wildlife and increased opportunities for community engagement with nature. By focusing on urban wildlife restoration our project will expand the focus of rewilding from wilderness areas to urban areas where there is the greatest potential to engage and educate the public about the benefits of conserving our unique biodiversity.
