Please find below a list of pieces I have written or had published elsewhere. This aims to be a mixture of academic and non-academic pieces, to reflect my commitment to sharing knowledge and ideas in ways that are accessible to a wide range of audiences (and not only academic ones).

Please always reference me if you read my work and use my words or are influenced by my ideas.

If an academic piece is sat behind a paywall, please use the contact box to contact me and I'll see what I can do to make it accessible to you.
