The Life Geographic: A somewhat self-absorbed personal and professional development blog of an ex-Geography high-school teacher…
My first RGS-IBG Annual International Conference took me from Fenland weather heritage and flood resilience to cyborgs, climate humour and the geographies of outer space, while raising new questions about inequality, knowledge and what it means to create more just places.
When someone like Dr Niiyokamigaabaw Deondre Smiles, an Indigenous geographer, opens up their time for me, I really am deeply grateful. Joining me from Victoria, British Columbia, our conversation for the Coffee & Geography podcast was rich, generous, expansive, and rooted in a geography that moves far beyond lines on a map.
Climate change isn’t abstract. It’s a silent shout in blue and red. The stripes don’t lie: we’re running hot. Lighten the shade. #ShowYourStripesDay #CoffeeGeogPod 🌍 Your stripe matters.
