THIS PAGE IS NOW REALLY OUT OF DATE. I should delete it but I’m not very good at deleting things.

For events and things like that from me, see my Instagram account, or Twitter.

I do enjoy doing workshops and talks, and having conversations, about making and creativity (sometimes, but not necessarily, in relation to digital and social media, or music, or research methods and impact). Contact me if you think you might like to ask me to do something.

Some events from 2018-19 are listed below. It turns out, this is the kind of page that I forget to update.

During COVID-19 a lot of events happened on Zoom and some of them, or edited highlights, are now on my YouTube channel.

Here’s an unnecessary list of 2018-19 events because I don’t want to delete it for some reason.
