PhD research blog. Ethnographic research. Public health. Traditional alcohol and cultural change in indigneous communties.
So life is on pause for all of us… I have found myself stuck in Northern Ireland due to border closures and flight restrictions. I have been working on other projects while I wait to return to Malaysia, particulalry related to maintaining mental health during this crisis and period of isolation and distancing.
