  • Profile

    I have been teaching BA and MA courses on qualitative methodology and designing fieldwork, ethnographic writing, and modules on the senses in the Anthropology department since 1999. In 2021, I graduated at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in the fine arts and am dividing my time between being a lecturer and an artist.
