This is some of my favourite research work. It’s been fairly low-budget, quick and to the point. Usually using in-depth interviews, ethnographic methods or deep dives into dusty archives. It gets commissioned because people need it. Useful writing, I hope.
It’s been a while since I’ve had time to do this work. But I do love it, and will make time where I can. Feel free to contact me with proposals, tender invitations etc. For example, to document an important project, collect oral histories, commemorate an organisation or person, or to research the experiences of a specific community.
