Research interests
Dr Warren's research is focused on three interconnected themes: 1) regional development 2) socio-economic change, and 3) employment relations. As an economic geographer he engages with these themes by combining cultural and political economic theory with empirical research.
Some of his previous and ongoing work focuses on such topics as: the global surfboard manufacturing industry and its regional geography (a topic on which he has recently completed a book); the production, recording and commercial performance of music in rural and remote Australia; contesting the future of Australian manufacturing and industrial regions, and; the precarious work experiences for those employed on a (sub)contracted basis.
Supervision Areas
Economic geography; Regional development; Labour geography and changing employment relations; Cultural and creative industries; Australian manufacturing; Cultural and political economic theory.
