I teach through practice: students learn a method, then use it straight away on a question of their own. I have taught from sixth form to postgraduate and continuing-education level, and I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

In the classroom
My students have run mini-ethnographies of local places, drawn kinship diagrams, kept algorithm diaries and compared what TikTok shows different research personas. I wrote about this approach in “Active Learning as a Pedagogical Strategy to Enhance the Learning of Anthropology” (Teaching Anthropology blog, 2023).
