Research and Writing in Ecology and Anthropology

Michael O’Flaherty is an independent consultant specialising in social science research and writing. He holds a doctorate degree in Anthropology, specializing in ecological anthropology and African studies. He creates professional works of writing based on solid research and analysis.
