Biography

My research is currently focused on changing agricultural practices and what it means to be a farmer in the Central Lowlands of Scotland. It explores the relationship between new directions in farming and more traditional economic practices, the rural landscape, farming ethics and ways of knowing. 

Elsewhere, I am the principal investigator of the Petardy Historic Landscape Project (petardyarchaeology.org), a community archaeology project exploring the landscape history of a Fife farm.
