Charlie Gillon is a trained human geographer with an empirical focus on housing and urban studies. His research primarily interrogates housing challenges in Australian cities, approaching the concept of housing as a cultural, emotional, and material geography. Charlie was awarded a PhD in human geography from the University of Wollongong in 2018, with his thesis titled 'Houses Built on Sand: Rethinking Cultures of Homemaking, Nature, and Finance in Coastal Master-Planned Estates.' This work examined the conflicting ideals of owner-occupancy through a case study of a new housing development in coastal Sydney. He currently works as a Research Fellow at the City Futures Research Centre at the University of New South Wales, contributing to Australian Research Council funded projects focused on planning, construction, and redesign of multi-unit apartment buildings.
