#introduction post

hello

I'm daniel and I'm the politics curator working at the Library of the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), UK.

I do engagement work with archives. I'm also a librarian & working towards archivist registration with the ARA.

I like psychoanalysis, italian, archives & words.

I’ve been doing so many #podcasts, remote #oralHistories and other interviewing, that I broke down and ordered a pop up recording studio.
