Invitation to a collective project!

What, for you, is the promise of cultural geography?

Vickie Zhang and I are seeking responses to the prompt (1-1000 words) by the end of February. They will be compiled, and made freely available in a publication (with DOI & ISBN). Details ๐Ÿ‘‡

UK HE shrinking This is a live page of all the redundancies, restructures, reorganisations, and closures taking place across the sector at the moment. Solidarity to all. This sector is vital to the countryโ€™sโ€ฆ

The number of UK universities now actively making redundancies has risen to 85. That number will be will over 100 by spring. I'm afraid this is happening faster, and will be worse, than even I thought. Solidarity and thoughts with and to all affected. qmucu.org/qmul-transfo...

We had great talks covering everything from social value and recycling roads (no really!) to how business can take action on the nature crisis. Thanks to colleagues in Chester Business School who co-organised with UoC's Sustainability & Environment Research & Knowledge Exchange Institute (SERKEI)

A group of around 30 people stand in a semi-circle in a large, wood-panelled room. They listen to a woman who is giving a talk on the nature crisis and how business can help. She stands between two banner stands, next to a TV screen showing her slides.

One of the things I enjoy about my job is bringing together brilliant people doing brilliant things, so they can be even more brilliant by sharing and collaborating. Thanks to everyone who came out to the Survive or Thrive Sustainable Business network event at Chester Town Hall last night 1/2

So sorry to hear this. Solidarity with colleagues at UEA. This is all so horrific.

Hey new friends. I'm not a frequent poster but when I do it's likely to be about young adults' futures, sustainability, "green skills/jobs" (" " intentional), and how my students, past and present, keep me going. I may post about making and mending projects when I feel self-indulgent.

Hi friends. I was Collins_R_C on the other place. Nice to see you here. Looking forward to rebuilding some academic community.
