A listing of selected projects, works, residencies etc grouped in approximate chronological order. Orrery for Landscape, Sinew and Serendipity throughout 2016.

Digital sociology, research and coffee. Category Archives: Literature Review. Nothing’s new under the sun. We all have to reference someone. I’m not sure if anything really prepares you for the sheer relentlessness that a taught Master’s programme brings. There is always something to be read or written or thought about or made.

Which has seen anyone who’s even remotely invested in coffee come out to play. It’s a great reminder of how coffee brings people together. Across the pond, NPR in the US has spent the week looking at all things coffee as well in their Coffee Week. NPR reporters explored everything from suspended coffee. The rise of women in the coffee industry. And, the history of coffee. The conve...

Exploring what it means to be an ethnographer today. Connect with Ethnography Matters. June 7, 2014. Who needs an ethnographer? You should set up your own independent project, she said. Do some ethnography on the side. My acquaintance is Kat Jungnickel. A sociologist currently researching cycling cultures. I’ve been thinking about this for a while, actually.

Exploring wifi's role in the modern cafe. Coffee and wifi. Really? April 27, 2013. Yes, really. In the about section, I say ‘The internet café is dead. Long live the café (with wifi)’.
