Random things
l listen to music a lot. My tastes are broad, and sometimes a little odd. Here is my Spotify playlist.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a mild obsession of mine.
I support Celtic football club.
Coffee competes with early series geeky Willow for being my first love. In Leeds, I like to get it from Mrs Athas, and Laynes.
Politics is a big thing for me. I am a socialist and interested in the potentials for conversation between secular socialism, Catholic Social Teaching and the kind of radical Catholic action embodied in the Catholic Worker movement. I have written a short book on Christianity and Marxism.
I am School rep for the union UCU. All UK based academics should join this!
I'm a Catholic and a Lay Dominican. I'm currently involved in starting up a fraternal group of the Lay Dominicans in Yorkshire. I tend to go to Sacred Heart, Bingley. I support the London Catholic Worker; please help them if you can.
I have bipolar disorder. I've written a bit about mental health; I'm particularly keen that people take seriously the social background of mental illness without descending into anti-psychiatry.
