General

I am a friend and occasional guest contributor to the Musings of a Yak Substack.

I am also the editor and main contributor of the Common Room Companion, a manual for undergraduates and other students on dress, deportment, and ceremony, applicable to all but with a special focus on the University of Oxford.
