Research Projects

Across all my research projects, there are themes of identity, sense of place and the patterns in these areas.

The Kosher Effect: Investigating the spatial relationship between synagogue's and London house prices

The project involved using ARCGIS to create maps for visualising the distribution of synagogues and housing prices, along with other spatial factors, and employing STATA to conduct regression analysis to uncover relationships within the data.

The changing nature of synagogues: How synagogues use ticketed and commercial events to maintain their membership

The project consisted of analysing the synagogue's community engagement efforts to understand their evolution and conducting an archival review to explore the synagogue's historical functions and roles.

Future of the Jewbans: Have the Jewbans assimilated of integrated and what does this mean for their future​

The study examined the assimilation and integration of Jewish Cubans (Jewbans). This involved conducting culturally sensitive interviews to gauge the place of Jewish identity within the broader Cuban identity, and performed an ethnography at the synagogue to observe the activities and demographics involved.ace
