Research Interests

David is particularly interested in the debate surrounding the 'adoption' and professionalisation of roles that have roots in activism and community.

He is also interested in exploring the epistemological 'problem' of measuring youth and community work in a way that honours the values of their practice, while also providing credible evidence of their overall impact.
