Dr Tom DisneySenior Lecturer in Childhood Studies at Northumbria University, United KingdomEmail: tom.disney@northumbria.ac.uk ProfilePublicationsExpertiseProfileI am a Social Geographer and my research interests centre on families and children experiencing interventions of the state, with a conceptual focus on care across a variety of settings. I explore how these interventions break or facilitate cycles of marginalisation of children, young people and families. My work lies at the intersection of Geography and Childhood Studies.ResearchPublicationsDisney, T. and Lloyd, J. (2020) 'Towards geographies of child protection.'
