Personal statement
Personal statement
I'm an anthropologist specialising in the study of material culture, justice, and community. My research investigates how relationships between people and objects, or landscapes, affect their lives and the choices they make. My work helps in the design of better, fairer, practices and systems with the aim of contributing to sustainable and just management of material cultures and natural landscapes.泭
I'm currently a Research Fellow based in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the 勛圖tv and embedded within a multi-institution interdisciplinary hosted by the University of Glasgow.泭
