Julie MacLeavy is a Professor of Economy Geography at the University of Bristol, UK. Her research develops a ’cultural political economy’ reading of state intervention and its geographies. Utilizing an original and innovative analytical framework that synthesizes the strategic-relational approach, neo-Foucauldian concerns with governmentality and geographical scale issues (especially local impact), Julie’s research makes a valuable contribution to the study of economic transformations by providing a rich, imaginative and empirically grounded study of labour market regulation, welfare provision and urban renewal in the UK. Julie co-edited the Routledge Handbook of Neoliberalism.
