Tim Ingold has taught at the University of Helsinki, the University of Manchester and the University of Aberdeen, where he currently holds a chair in social anthropology and directs the Knowing From the Inside group. His work emphasizes embodied skills of perception and action within social and environmental contexts of human development. This has led him to examine the use of lines in culture and the relationship between anthropology, architecture, art and design. His works include *Lines: A Brief History* (2007), *The Perception of the Environment* (reissued in 2011), *Being Alive* (2011), *Making: Anthropology, Archaeology, Art and Architecture* (2013) and *The Life of Lines* (2015).
