people, place & connections
Welcome
People, place, identity and meanings are at the heart of my work – as a heritage consultant, a writer and a potter.
This website is a doorway into many projects, conference papers, talks and published articles that focus on people-place connections – on social value as a heritage concept. Most are drawn from my past work, and can be accessed via the search function. Where possible, reports and writings are available to download.
