A great few weeks at UoM! Particularly in hosting a NWSSDTP writing retreat with @chloefoxrobertson.bsky.social and taking part in a ‘Meet the Veterans’ session with Master’s students. It was a pleasure to reflect on my experiences of doing research and to hear such enthusiasm for their projects!

And that’s another semester done! 👏 I've had a wonderful semester celebrating my first publication, writing my second paper, teaching with @amycbarron.bsky.social and @profalibrowne.bsky.social, hosting a weekly departmental writing group, and sowing seeds for what life post-PhD might look like. 🌍🎓

How do you vote? Do you know why? @niamhnelson-owens.bsky.social suggests that everyday occurrences can have unexpected and yet profound affects on political behaviour. “Ordinary moments can be extraordinary in challenging power and creating new possibilities.” doi.org/10.1177/0309...

Fantastic to attend the 'Shaping the Future of Global Sustainability Policy' event this week! Featuring a thought-provoking panel and fantastic workshop hosted by Policy@Manchester, it was interesting to reflect on for whom is the evidence we, as academics, are creating actually useful? (1/2)

Very happy to share that this wonderful project is now out! It is such a joy to be featured among so many brilliant contributions reflecting on the promise of cultural geography. Mediated through an unfortunate school detention, I explore the concept of (a) promise and what this might mean...(1/2)
