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.”

Excited to share that my first paper from my PhD has been published in Progress in Human Geography! It reads post-foundational political geography through affect, offering an expansive understanding of (extra)ordinary political processes and how they are felt beyond discourse and in nonlinear ways 💫

This tied into broader conversations around the importance of knowledge translation and communication, embracing failure when policy might not land how it is designed to, and collaboration with those adjacent to policy who have the capacity and desire to enact change 🌍 (2/2)

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)
