The Life Geographic: A somewhat self-absorbed personal and professional development blog of an ex-Geography high-school teacher…
I don't know why I put myself through it! A love for performing, geography and educating - all rolled into one, I guess! Almost every Geographical Association Conference Teachmeet I get lyrical. This year, I decided to honour the epic efforts and achievements of the team behind developing the Slow Ways.
The world's first forecourt for electric vehicles has more to it than meets the eye!

NEW VIDEO: The Anthropocene: Does Arrogance Outlast Decay? An quirky presentation for Odd Salon "DECAY", an Exploratorium After Dark Residency. Blurb: Humans have been a ‘force of nature’ for only a few thousand years, depending on who you listen to. So it is arrogant to suggest a whole new geological epoch based on our actions? What human artifacts will be left after millions of years of decay?
It is with excitement & pleasure that I will be part of the line-up of Odd Salon's "Decay", an Exploratorium residency for their After Dark programme. It'll be fun and quirky, as well as educational! Click to find out more.

The first of, hopefully many, Geogramblings interviews! I talk to Kate O'Donnell from the Exploratorium museum in San Francisco for Discover the World Education's "International Connections" TeachMeet (broadcast on Thursday 11th June 2020). This blog post gives the full 10-minute edit of the interview, where you can get some examples of teaching & learning resources for your Science, Geography lessons and beyond, no matter where you are in the world! If you like 'geographers' interviewing 'geographers', a plug is also given to a rather Curious Geographer!
