I was going to re-do my #introduction as I’ve now made this my only account, but what I wrote still stands so I’ll just add some extra info:

- I did my #sociology PhD on the construction and maintenance of #community in modern #Paganism in #Britain. I used #ethnography (#QualitativeResearch) in a frame of #ethnomethodololgy
- In #Japan my #research has been on #HCI #museums #nursing and #caringwork
- I quit work due to #PanicDisorder, #Depression and #CPTSD
- I’ve been in Japan 20 years

A long-ish article from The Conversation @TheConversationUK published earlier this month - but timely. The UK government is failing the #nhs and failing the people of Britain. The article isn’t about politics but rather about what it is really like to be a nurse in UK now. #hospitals #a&e #emotionalLabour #caringWork #supportTheNursesStrike https://theconversation.com/its-like-being-in-a-warzone-aande-nurses-open-up-about-the-emotional-cost-of-working-on-the-nhs-frontline-194197
