Hello!

Welcome. I’m a writer, researcher, editor, poet, independent academic and allotmenteer. I’m lucky enough to live in Sheffield, jewel of the North of England.

If there’s an overarching question that sparks my curiosity and concern, it’s how humans can live well with each other and all of nature in a world where humans are causing the most damage.

In recent months I’ve been exploring how to be an ecological citizen in the context of the River Don in South Yorkshire; how universities can be good for their communities; and how to embed connecting with nature in mayoral health policies.

This site is undergoing a revamp and update over the next few months but in the meantime there’s a bit of background about me here, more recent posts on LinkedIn (and you can contact me that way), and a host of recent academic articles and reports on my Orcid profile.

More soon!
