About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To help change the world into a more egalitarian place
ABOUT ME
I am an academic based in the Department of Environment at University of York, in the UK. I have worked at several other universities, including Durham (UK) and Rhodes (SA) over the past decade or so. I am fairly relaxed and enjoy meeting people and learning about new places and cultures. My professional field is development planning and human geography, but I enjoy taking breaks from all that and appreciating life's diversity.
