Department of Social Anthropology

 

Biography

I am an ESRC-sponsored pre-field PhD candidate in social anthropology. I read for my undergraduate degree at the University of St Andrews, Scotland, and Masters at the University of Oxford, England, both in social anthropology. My doctoral research is focused on hill farming in the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District in England. Specifically, my research explores the relationship between farmers, their livestock and land and the impact of environmentalist intervention and associated policies on that relationship.
