Biography

Julie MacLeavy is a Professor of Economic Geography at the University of Bristol. Her research focuses on cultural political economy, particularly how state intervention shapes various geographical contexts. She employs methods and concepts from the 'cultural turn' in the social sciences to investigate issues traditionally associated with political economy, such as labour market regulation and welfare provision. Throughout her career, Professor MacLeavy has examined narratives of social exclusion and has engaged with feminist questions surrounding recognition and rights within the framework of contemporary economic and social transformations. Her work critically addresses how welfare policies influence participation in urban regeneration schemes in the UK, shedding light on the intersections of gender and economic policy.
