Welcome (Croeso)
Welcome to my corner of Substack — a space where two of my passions converge: academic inquiry (That Sociologist) and visual storytelling (Aber Bespoke Art).
📘 Academic Insights
On one side of this platform, I share reflections, essays, and updates related to my academic work.; you’ll find this under the blog ‘That Sociologist’. Whether it's research deep-dives, commentary on current scholarly debates, or behind-the-scenes looks at the writing and publishing process, this blog is a window into the intellectual journey I’m on. It’s designed for fellow researchers, students, and anyone curious about the ideas shaping my field, mostly Sociology, Social Policy and some Political Geography.
📷 Visual Explorations
The other side (Aber Bespoke Art) is dedicated to my photography — a creative outlet that complements and defragments my academic life. Here, you’ll find photo essays, stories behind the shots, and explorations of light, texture, and emotion through the lens. It’s a space for slowing down, observing, and appreciating the world in frames.
Why Both?
I believe that thought and creativity are not separate pursuits — they inform and enrich each other. This Substack is my way of sharing both sides of myself: the thinker and the observer, the writer and the image-maker.
