I’ve been elected to the RGS-IBG’s Research and Higher Education Committee 🌍 Geography in UK HE is in a period of change, and I want to be one of the people shaping where it goes and continue to champion the excellent work geographers do. That’s exactly why I am excited to be part of the committee!
