| Location | Exeter, Devon, United Kingdom |
| Introduction | Researcher in international politics and sociology. My specialization is in questioning, understanding and exploring identity: 'Who we are' is the most fundamental question we can ask ourselves. Yet the answer does not come only from within: Society also poses and imposes understandings and interpretations of the 'Self' and the 'Other'. |
| Interests | Philosophy, poetry, astronomy, history, historiography, international politics and many other things (non-?) normal people care about. |
| Favorite Movies | Gegen die Wand, Lola + Bilidikid, Politiki Kouzina, The Reader, Revolutionary Road, Touching the Void, Into the Wild, Fight Club, Requiem for a Dream, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Pianist, Nine Songs, 500 Days of Summer. |
| Favorite Music | World's End Girlfriend, Telefon Tel Aviv, Sibot, Manes, Ulver, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Jesu, Muse, Foals, Tool, Dead Can Dance, Daemonia Nymphe, Queensryche, Pink Floyd, The Smiths, The Ramones, X-Ray Spex, The Cure, Bauhaus, Erik Satie, Depeche Mode, Joy Division, Placebo, Porcupine Tree, Radiohead, Pain of Salvation, The Killers, The White Stripes, Sigur Ros, Isis, Pelican |
| Favorite Books | Mirror in the Mirror (Michael Ende). Surely there must be others, but I haven't read a non-academic book in quite a while. Currently reading Jo Nasbo. |
