Concerned with relation to the ‘other’, fuelled by otherness experienced travelling in vulnerable situations. Recent focus on the way our sense of place carries meaning as metaphor for inner experience of life, and how we improvise ways of knowing to make sense of life’s changing circumstances…Interested in relation of romantic tradition to western 21st century global awareness/ignorance of natural world.
