He also works on modernisms, particularly considering temporalities, provinciality and ruination. Some of his previous work has been funded by the AHRC (as Co-Investigator on the early career exploratory award Reconfiguring Ruins) and by the Leverhulme Trust (as Network Facilitator on the Imaginaries of the Future project).
