For no reason, no reason at all, I am sharing my guiding quote about how I approach being a professor, from Prof. Toni Morrison

It was great to attend the RGS mid-term conference.

I started by by saying that as an academic, I find it hard not to talk about what’s happening in Palestine and Gaza. 1/3

In the making… ‘The Secret Geographer’ - a dive into the hidden work of geographers engaged in law and scholar-activism.

These books inspired us - any suggestions of books outside UK and/or in different languages that ‘lift the lid’ on being in law + legal system pls?

Oh - I wrote this short response to Prof Katherine Brickell brilliant lecture published in Political Geography last year (!!) and it's finally been published. Arts, slow violence, audiences, censorship, all that lovely stuff. Free to access @ this link until 11 June.

Thanks Political Geography for publishing my Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) plenary & Amanda Rogers for her response.

It's on the 'doing' of creative practice (photography and film-making), its politics & what can learned about the political geographies of slow violence through it

Dear Mr Sunak,
On behalf of pretty much every doctor in the land, pretty much every person on a waiting list in the land, pretty much every sick person in the land, and increasingly most voters in the land...

Minouche Shafik earned millions as LSE vice chancellor while keeping our members on precarious contracts.

Now at Columbia, she calls in the police to arrest her own students for peacefully protesting genocide.

We need to reclaim our universities from these shameful “leaders”

👉🏽 Southern Responses to Displacement is looking for a Research Fellow to join our team to examine “Southern” responses to displacement, including refugees’ own conceptualisations of “humanitarianism” and “the South” - apply by 8 May if you’re interested: ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…

Another excellent piece from Jack Brook & Eung Sea tying debt to deforestation in #Cambodia - 'We cut logs, like most people, because we need money to repay the microfinance loan' - I feel like I've heard this sentiment hundreds of times.
