My profile
Biography
My research explores sustainability via collaborative approaches across sectors, species, generations and communities. Current projects include off-grid living and how domestic animals influence the understanding and practice of sustainability in rural areas and organisations. I am a fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute, and a member of the British Academy of Management and the Institute of Place Management. https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9980-4409.
