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 Homelessness Monitor study, which investigates changes in rates and patterns of homelessness and developments in homelessness policy and interventions.

Andrew’s methodological expertise lies in the use of ethnographic and other qualitative methods to investigate social policies and programs and their effects. He has a strong background in social theory and he is passionate about integrating theoretically-informed sociological analysis with applied social policy research. Andrew also has experience in combining ethnographic research with analysis of administrative data in policy and program evaluations.

Andrew is the Australasian editor ofHousing Studiesand a fellow with the City Futures Research Centre and the Australian Basic Income Lab. Prior to joining UNSW, Andrew held a series of research fellowships at the University of Queensland (2016-2022). Andrew received his PhD in sociology from the University of Queensland in 2017.
