| Biography | I'm a postdoctoral researcher in the COAST project, which looks at active and sustainable travel in rural coastal areas. I work in East Durham, finding out how people get about in their day-to-day lives. My PhD (2024, University of Aberdeen) was about island life in Scotland during the COVID-19 pandemic. Working on the Isle of Coll, I researched aspects like provisions, in-person and online sociability, ferry mobilities and walking practices. In all of this research, my interests is in how people make a life in coastal and island places, coping with socio-economic and climate change related uncertainties. In my research and writing, I enjoy using creative methods as a means of engaging with embodied, affective ways of knowing and of sharing research with different audiences. |
| Teaching and Learning | I worked as a teaching assistant and teaching fellow at the University of Aberdeen (2021-2024). I have experience lecturing and tutoring on a range of undergraduate courses, such as Introduction to Anthropology; Sociology of the Embodied Self; Re-Imagining Colonialism; Emotion, Society and Self; and Mobility. |
