Resident of Loose, Kent, but born and brought up in Manchester. I've also lived in Bishopsbourne near Canterbury, and Munich. I work for the Open University (UK); I am a senior lecturer, a staff tutor, and a tutor. I've also worked for the University of the Arts, London at the London College of Communication and other universities. From my contributions you'll see that I work on pages about places I've lived and also prisons (generally prisons I know).
