Kirsteen Paton
Kirsteen Paton is a lecturer in Sociology at the University of Leeds. Her book Gentrification: a working class perspective (Ashgate, 2015) explores the impacts of the Glasgow Harbour development on working-class neighbourhood Partick. This has galvanised an interest in class and housing. Her recent research explored regeneration and stigma in Glasgow’s East End in relation to the Commonwealth Games and her latest work explores evictions in relation to welfare reform and anti-eviction campaigns in the UK. Her forthcoming book (Routledge, 2017) explores class and everyday life in neoliberal Britain.
