Senior Research Fellowship
Professor Danny MacKinnon was a USF Senior Research Fellow at the University of Glasgow between 2009-2013. He is now Professor of Regional Development and Governance and Director of CURDS at Newcastle University. He is an economic and political geographer whose research is centrally concerned with the institutions and politics of local and regional development. His recent work has contributed to debates in Evolutionary Economic Geography and to questions of urban and regional adaptation and change. My future research agenda involves linking urban and regional development to issues of social and spatial justice in an increasingly unequal world, particularly through work on inclusive growth.
