Excited to be DOPE organizer this year 💫 #politicalecology

So happy to see American Association of Geographers working on this!

It’s not perfect (nothing ever is) but it’s a significant step forward for us an an org—one that I hope we continue for future conferences

Fun fact is I actually studied the history of the dissertation as part of my dissertation and they were never meant to be there fully-fledged academic pieces! They were supposed to be practice (with support), to help someone do work on their own. And now they're sooo high stakes.

So excited to be a part of this!!

If you’re in the Lexington KY area come on out to hear my talk on 2/17!

There will be free food!

It is unfortunate that not enough data visualization practitioners remember that design is an act of rendering care.

We have a poverty of language when it comes to describing maps...often failing to go beyond synonyms of 'beautiful'/'good' or 'ugly'/'bad'

I was struggling to talk about the importance of Yi-Fu Tuan's geography to a grad student today -- it's difficult to explain the role and significance of humanistic geography today, so long after its emancipatory vision of enlightenment ideals was lost to critical approaches.

Super excited to be running this with Ian Spangler for American Association of Geographers! Thinking through the hows/whys of research & writing seems pedantic but once you start you realize how many of processes get in the way doing work. It’ll be a nice mix between therapy and practical solutions too!

An incredibly difficult and sad decision to have to make. . . but it’s what’s best for the AAG, the American Association of Geographers staff, and many of our members

Fingers crossed for 2023!!

Wish it coulda been true…

Happy Halloween?

Second day of teaching #humangeo for UK Geography! Talking about the syllabus today—pretty boring stuff but hopefully the students will appreciate the flexibility I built into the course 🤞🏻

Very excited to be teaching my own class for the first time for UK Geography! Looking forward to talking about all sort of human geography topics from Waffle House to gerrymandering to gay bars!

Anyone know who these geographers are? I think I can name 3, but not sure about the rest...

Hey American Association of Geographers is the session entitled “locational information and the public interest” cancelled? I can’t find it in the session list anymore and the link is dead!
