I’m a PhD student at the University of Stirling. My research explores socio-cultural issues relating to menstrual absorbent materials, faecal sludge management, and sanitation and solid waste infrastructure. My background is in wastewater engineering, but these days I mostly use methods from anthropology and sociology.
