Francis Markham is a PhD candidate at the Fenner School, Australian National University, with 15 years’ research experience applying geographic and computational methods to understand the local impacts of electronic gaming machines and the interplay of accessibility and socio-economic status on gambling behaviour. His interdisciplinary background in geography, computer science and political science underpins work on gambling-related harm, expenditure patterns and the geographies of risky consumption in remote communities.
