Welcome to my website! My name is Benjamin Basan. I am a writer, editor, teacher, and academic with professional interests and experience in more than a few areas. I am especially passionate about cities, technology, social, economic, and global justice, and communication. See my blog post, GIVE IT A NAME HERE, to understand how these passions can translate into practical value for you and your enterprise.
I am also a huge fan of stand-up comedy — I’ve resolved to try a few open mic nights once this pandemic is behind us — and all sorts of music. I have been listening to Gilles Peterson on BBC radio since around 2005 and haven’t missed one since 2007! My top two musical artists are without question Thundercat & Erykah Badu.
When I’m not working or consuming, I enjoy walking through cities, playing guitar, cooking hot (spicy) food, and, when there’s no coronavirus to contend with, visiting contemporary art galleries and exhibitions, and going to concerts.
