Thoughts and Ideas
This section is a space for me to consider issues within society and contemporary culture.
Here, I’ll introduce and further develop ideas I like to work with, explain and expand on issues that stem from previous projects, as well as consider immersive research and developing practices.
Study a PhD with Dr. Christopher R. Matthews
I specialise in conducting and supervising immersive research, but I’m keen to discuss various projects and research methods with prospective students as well.
StromCast interview: Why do we do the stupid things we do?
Here’s a fun podcast I did with Rick Foster from Strom Sports Nutrition. Rick and I have had a bunch of conversations about this sort of stuff in the past so the podcast is pretty informal, and sometimes the language gets a little bit ‘lively’ especially when I start telling stories about gym culture.
We need to talk about the worst bits of the ‘best fights’
“What a fight for the fans here in Houston… An absolute classic… The stock of both women goes up with that performance tonight”. That was UFC commentator Jon Anik’s description of the fight between Angela Hill and Jessica Andrade at the recent UFC fight night 104.
It was great to watch these two perform in such a powerful and skilful manner, creating what Jack Slack has called the best strawweight bout to date. And to top it all off with great shows of respect and appreciation for one another at the end of the fight was excellent.
