I’ve just done three years of Human Sciences

(…people/society/bones/culture/dead stuff/monkeys)

at the Stockton Campus of Durham University.

And am now embarking on an MA in Mythology at Bristol.

These are the ones that aren’t.

N.B. These are intended as interesting reading, or an introduction to my subject for the otherwise bewildered. I have NOT put them up on here for you to plagiarise. Such behaviour can & will result in expulsion.
