After some precarious work and underemployment, it provides a nice reassurance that my work belongs in this field and is worth being engaged.

I write about LGBTQ+ friendships as sites of mutual aid and think specifically about queer rural relations and spaces. It's my first publication from my PhD

I feel absolutely bodied! An unbelievably contemporary, tentative, intimate queer rural film. Utopian in parts, harrowingly pragmatic in others - a beautiful spotlight on gay rodeo cultures without overlooking rural poverty. Screen it everywhere!
Research visits to the Workersβ Museum, Tampere, began this week. Iβve been slipping around on the fresh snow too!
After a month or so of settling in, this week I began to feel like an active researcher again βοΈππ
On a bit of a roll with the book chapters! My epistolary with the incredible Cleo WΓΆlfle Hazard, "Messing up (in) the field: Finding queer-trans ecologies in geographical fieldwork", is now out in Edward Elgar's Handbook of Queer Geographies

Finnish painter Magnus Enckell was born on this week (9 Nov) in 1870. Thanks to @queermodernisms.bsky.social via Insta, I've been enjoying reading about his life and viewing his works.

It is also a crying shame that postgraduate publications don't get as much cut-through as they ought to.
These essays are all brilliant, critical, thoughtful and creative pieces of work! They definitely deserve a wider readership than they have enjoyed so far.
I'm just saying: not bad for a couple'a mid-project PhD researchers!!
