Environment and Sustainable Development
I am currently an activist in the Scottish Green Party and am involved
in policy development for this organization. This and a broad interest
in the subject have given me a detailed knowledge of such matters. I am
also qualified to HND level 2 in Environmental Surveying for Nature Conservation.
See also the sections on Politics and Current Affairs and Social Policy.
For my knowledge of environmental thought see under Philosophy.
Fiction/Literature
I am qualified to A-Level in English Literature. My particular interest
lies in literary fiction. However, I am known to read crime, thriller
and speculative fiction for leisure and would be happy to proofread or
edit fiction in any genre.
History
I am qualified to A-level in History, and read History as a minor course
at University for a year. I am also qualified in Classical Civilization
to GCSE level. My particular interest lies in Ancient History, but I would
be happy to work with books relating to other periods.
Natural History
I have an innate fascination with natural history. I am also qualified
to HNC Level 2 in Habitat Surveying for Nature Conservation.
Philosophy
I read Philosophy for two years at University as a subsidiary unit. My
particular fields of expertise lie in Ethics and Environmental Philosophy.
In the case of the latter this is partly as a result of policy formulation
for the Scottish Green Party. With the exception of formal logic, I would
be happy to work with other philosophical study.
Politics and Current Affairs
I am qualified to A-Level in Economic and Political Studies. I am active
within the Scottish Green Party and, as such, have a solid grasp of Scottish
politics and current affairs in particular. I am also interested in political
studies and current affairs from local to international level and often
read round the subject.
Psychology
I am qualified to Degree Level (with Honours) in Psychology. My main interest
lies in social psychology and group processes but would be happy to proofread
or edit work in any field of psychology except neuroscience.
Public Health
I worked as a volunteer for a health promotion agency based in Edinburgh
for several years. This also stands me in good stead to proofread or edit
work in health education. In addition to this I have been centrally involved
in policy formulation in public health for the Scottish Green Party.
Religion
In addition to my interest in religious ethics (see under Philosophy,
above) I have been involved with neo-Paganism for some years. For details
of specialized interests, please contact
me.
Social Policy
I am closely involved with policy formulation for the Scottish Green Party.
I have a particular interest in social policy.
