This site archives most of my writing from the last seven years. It's now also home to an interactive blog, which is open to all. Please come and join the conversation.

From torture in the highlands of New Guinea to tree-sitting in Hampshire; from street protest in Italy to alternative economics in the Himalayas; from armed rebellion in Mexico to the decline of the English pub, I try to write about the links between people and places, the political and the personal, in a way that might make them matter to you as much as they do to me. I hope you find something here to engage you.
