Andrew is a sociologist with expertise in the areas of housing studies, social policy, urban sociology, and social theory. He researches a variety of topics including housing insecurity and homelessness, social housing provision, urban governance, and the role of charity in contemporary welfare systems. He is currently undertaking research into how evictions unfold in the Australian private rental sector and contributing to the biennial Australian լиlessness Monitor study, which investigates changes in rates and patterns of homelessness and developments in homelessness policy and interventions.
