Hi, I'm '''Lesley''' and I ''hate'' writing about myself.

This is my main account, which I use for editing. I also have a separate account,[[User:Lesley Mitchell (training account) | Lesley Mitchell (training account)]], which I use for training purposes.

== Personal stuff ==
I have a wide ranging background across [[science]] (particularly [[chemistry]]), [[computing]] (particularly [[linux]] and [[free software]]), the [[humanities]] (particularly [[philosophy]]), and the [[social sciences]] (particularly [[sociology]]), but most things interest me.

I am passionate about [[gender]], [[Human sexuality|sexuality]] and [[Race (human categorization)|racial]] issues and representation, [[feminism]] and [[intersectionality]], and the amplification of [[marginalised]] voices and recovery of hidden and suppressed [[history|histories]]. I mainly work on pages about [[women]] and [[women's organisations]] both [[social]] and [[political]], with a particular emphasis on [[Glasgow]], [[Scotland]], as that's where I'm currently based. I would also like to improve representation of [[LGBT|LGBTQIA+]] and [[Person of color|BIPOC]] persons in the city/region.

In my copious free time, I also enjoy [[travel]], learning [[languages]], [[cooking]], [[photography]], [[running]] and [[Fencing|hitting my friends (when suitable attired) with metal sticks]].
