Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers | RGS Journal | Wiley Online Library A short statement on academic freedom in the current political climate as it relates to academic geographers, from representatives of the RGS-IBG RHE Committee and the Editors of TIBG.

"We collectively want to recognise these intensely difficult and fraught political moments, defend academic freedom, and encourage a culture of mutual care and respect."

Man, everything is so bleak, anyone got a fun fact or little bit of trivia they want to share

I think a variation on this theme is that hiring committees get inundated by scholars at all levels at this point too. It’s not an ABDs market the way it may have once been decades ago.

Chat me if you have any questions! #oceanography #marine

From my perspective? I’d rather universities simply not address the crisis at all unless they are fully committed to removing structural organizational stressors.

I’m exhausted by exhortations to self care and wellness from the same folks who are knowingly amplifying my grinding anxiety.

What Tom Holland’s historic lip-sync showcase taught us about stormwater management Grab your umbrella and your tights.

just learned we won an award for our blog post about Tom Holland and stormwater management.

remember, when you see an article about stormwater management, you repost it. i don’t make the rules.

check it out!!! 😍

It’s #WorldPrematurityDay

Every year, 15 million babies are born too soon.
Too small. Too early. And far too vulnerable to life-threatening complications.

But with the right care, most preterm and low birth weight babies survive. They can go on to thrive and lead wonderful lives bit.ly/43NzUH8

Yes!!! Kangaroo care!!
I have written about this with folks!

Yes, this is what @lizneeley.bsky.social has been talking about for some time. We need stories and storytellers!

Oh, yes! we should connect on this offline--I send the whole class out in week 5 to do participant observation ; ) ...so at the end of the first 1/3 of the course...

Oh but I should mention it’s a grad/undergrad split course…

In my 13 week course I give them week 8 out of class to dedicate time for fieldwork. First 1/3 is ethics and the why of research 2nd 1/3 is the methods and techniques and then I have them come back with some data to ‘play with’ in weeks 9&10 for coding/analysis/reporting. 😌

I strongly endorse this, mostly for women. Most men don’t have this imbalance. But just try it out! It’s very useful.

New Book! "All Geographers Should be Feminist Geographers: Creating Care-full Academic Spaces" now available from UGA Press.

Excited to talk about the book with folks, so please consider if this topic and ideas are well-suited to department seminars, class visits, or other conversational spaces.

Everyone is hope scrolling now

Combine that with Mamdani's pro-trans position and it seems really clear that you don't have to be anti-trans to win.

Congrats too to all the NYC voters who refused to make their cranky, loser ex-governor your mayor, Wilmingtonians could never.

Endlessly this.

Congratulations to a lot of folks, but especially to all those at state universities in Virginia who continue to fight for honest truth and rigorous scholarship, even when those in power – governors, executives, boards of visitors – do not.

Now comes the even harder work. But for tonight, let's celebrate.

There are still a lot of hard times ahead, but remember this moment and what it means: We can win.

It’s just really nice to have a few hours where the news about politics isn’t complete and utter shit being smeared on the wall by the dumbest fucking people

Fucking brilliant.

Zohran Mamdani wins the mayoral race on NYC

Hope.

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist
