Summary
As a trained social scientist with a specialized focus in cultural anthropology and ethnography, I possess a nuanced understanding of the interplay between tangible and intangible heritage, and the complex relationships between heritage and religious ontologies. My academic pursuits and field research are deeply rooted in exploring these intersections, further enriched by practical project management experience within the arts and entertainment sector, as founder of an interdisciplinary collective that blends music and research.
