Universities are introducing time-tracking systems for academic researchers. I am curious: how exactly do you log hours spent thinking, reading, walking, observing, or slowly writing an argument? Thinking does not run on a time clock.

Delighted to share that my article on the spatial and emotional geographies of pregnancy is now out in Emotion, Space and Society! (open access) shorturl.at/X0RQP Drawing on autoethnographic journaling across two pregnancies and births, it conceptualises gestation as a geography in its own right.

Local ecological initiatives are often framed as political experiments. But what happens when they begin to assume social roles traditionally provided by the welfare state? New blog post (FR): antigone21.com/2026/02/05/q...

Academia: 'Maternity and parental leave are protected.' Also academia: 'Please explain why you were not in your office during maternity and parental leave. Oh, and we’ve cut your salary. Also, this might count as holiday.' Protection, but make it conditional.
