About
I am an anthropological archaeologist (also material and historical anthropologist) specialising in multi-period Africanist research.
Current research projects concern pastoralism in the Horn of Africa, contemporary and historic forms of dwelling on Mount Kilimanjaro, and phenomenological approaches to the inhabitation of past and present landscapes. Further areas of interest include: heritage and social memory, heritage and conflict, visual anthropology, identity and personhood, syncretism and religious fusion, hybridity and cultural mixing, experience and performance, and participative and reflexive methods in the social sciences.
Past projects: I co-directed the project 'Time, Environment and Identity in the Lower Omo Valley, Ethiopia' (2009-12; with Marcus Brittain, Cambridge Archaeological Unit). Previously, I directed the 'Memoryscapes of Kilimanjaro, Tanzania' project (2004-07).
