I am a university lecturer in economics, with an interest in history and music. Mainly work on classical music at the moment...Want to help create pages for classical compositions (concentrating on Richard Strauss up to now). I am also keen to improve pages on economics which are a bit of a mixed bunch at the moment. However, harder to build up enthusiasm for economics since it was my day job. I have not been active on Wikipedia for a few years, but intend to get back to it and start some new pages as well as updating older ones.

Work done or in progress
