Hello, my name is Andrew.

I'm an independent researcher living in London, England with a background in politics, history & anthropology. My current focus is conflict, peace & state building in west Africa.

My other interests include photography, cake & gin.

In the past, I've been a history lecturer, an archaeologist, an actor & a web developer.

And a bookseller, a copy tech, a video clerk, a construction laborer, an IT support tech, a nursery worker, a videogame store manager & a pretzel maker.

You can also see my pictures on Flickr, follow my updates on Twitter or send me an .

Have we met? Then maybe we should be friends on Facebook.
