Projects and Resources
I am in the process of developing a series of workshops, webinars, and other resources for academics who are based anywhere in the world.
These will focus on topics like leaving academia, bullying, post-tenure depression, imposter-syndrome, & balancing caregiving/family obligations.

If you'd like to be kept up-to-date about developments, subscribe to my email list. If you have ideas for topics you think I should cover, contact me!

Challenge yourself to try something new and re-discover how to play purely for fun rather than to be 'productive.'

Since 2022 I've hosted a podcast about democracy around the world.
It's something of a personal passion project - a topic I've been interested in ever since I first happened to be in Bolivia, working on an archaeological excavation, during a Presidential election and realized they looked very different to what I was used to in the UK.
​
My goal is to reach 10 countries by the time we get to the US Presidential elections in Nov 2024.
My anthropological research focused on the subtle prejudices scholars from the Global South face when they work in the US or with US researchers.
Between 2008-12 ​I conducted an ethnography of a transnational academic community - Andean Archaeology - by conducting ethnographic fieldwork at archaeological excavations, in classrooms and departments in the US, Canada, Bolivia, and Chile, and at both national and international conferences.
Coercive control is a form of psychological abuse whereby the perpetrator carries out a pattern of controlling and manipulative behaviors within a relationship and exerts power over a victim, often through intimidation or humiliation, which tends to be more subtle and harder to spot.
It can occur within relationships (e.g. spouses, or parent-child) or within groups (e.g. in high-control religions or in cults).
