Anthropologist interested in (nearly) all facets of the human condition, in particular culture, heritage, conflict (and its drivers), and response to climate change. Past, present and future of all that, too.

Participated at a climate change workshop at Oxford’s School of Engineering yesterday. Unexpected but welcome chance to see and hear about this year’s Formula Student car being built for Silverstone. This year the car is 100% battery powered.

The “Major Oak” in Sherwood Forest. It’s at least 800 and possibly 1200 years old. A nice autumnal day for a visit.

Had the chance to see a bit of Budapest last week. The visit was linked to a forthcoming exhibition on the Museum of Ethnography’s Africa collection which I’m very excited to be involved with. More to follow.

Fascinating - ritual violence in the European Neolithic. Possibly the earliest evidence of conflict propaganda.

Belvoir Castle in Leicestershire from the weekend. I always think certain heritage buildings photograph well in black and white. Maybe it speaks to the dimension of time.

Unexpected collision of climate change, culture & heritage. Bakewell tart, invented in the 1800s & quintessentially British. Bakers report disruption to almond supply & unstable prices. Extreme heat & declining water in California (= 80% of the global harvest)

Oil painting by Winston Churchill, 1916 entitled 'Plug Street' (the British Army's nickname for Ploegsteert, in Flanders). The painting shows the building at Lawrence Farm where Churchill and other officers were billeted.
