As a sociologist, educator and cultural theorist, I am constantly attempting to analyse the world around me – these are my musings. Over the last few decades, shock jocks and politically motivated commentators have promoted misinformation and researchers and academics must confront these.

My musings are not limited to politics only – I also write about the PhD journey, experiences of higher education and universities with the aim of promoting a smooth, fulfilling and empowering experience.

My third area of interest is looking at the role of art in our contemporary society: how artists reflect, comment and inform the world around us.
