I am so excited to see this article out! Published today, my latest article reviews work within human geography on climate futures, and work outside of human geography on queer time. Here, I argue that planetary imaginaries are entangled in the policing of intimacies. doi.org/10.1177/2753...

This week the first article from my PhD was published! This piece explores the belief that our planet is hurtling towards self-inflicted extinction. By working closely with Extinction Rebellion, I examine how demands to halt planetary extinction shape the future. doi.org/10.1111/tran... 🐞🌱

Our methodological critique of The Cass Review has been peer-reviewed published & is therefore way more authoritative than Cass which is un-peer-reviewed. Streeting/Starmer can no longer claim Cass is “gold standard” or “landmark”. Cass is just junk science. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

This brilliantly ties together difficult feelings, family dysfunction and a compassion for the difficult realities of working-classness. Such a clever piece of writing www.theguardian.com/news/2025/ma...
