Phil Cohen, an urban ethnographer by trade, has a created this site which contains a selection of past and present writings, supported by picture galleries, videos and other material generated by my research. He has worked mostly with young people and communities in East London, charting the impact of structural and demographic change on their everyday experience, and the stories they tell about the past, present and future of this area. His work draws on concepts and methods from a range of approaches in the human sciences, including anthropology, actor-network theory, psychoanalysis, narratology and cultural geography. He is a publisher of several books and articles which are described on his site Phil Cohen Works.
