I have a PhD from the University of Cambridge, which you can find on the library catalogue here. I have taught at Sciences Po and the University of Nottingham on the social and political study of religion. I have travelled widely, enjoying prolonged spells in some of India’s religious sites, in Damascus, and in Tuzla just after the war. From these travels and my reading, I have developed an interest in the religions of the world, and their connection to political society.

I was brought up in Norfolk, going to school at Norwich School. Outside my research interests, I am interested in music, the natural environment, and Norwich City Football Club.

This website gives an idea of my intellectual interests and provides links to other researchers working on 1. the social study of religion, 2. iconoclasm, and 3. religion and ecology.
