Reading the acknowledgments in Roberta Hawkins and Leslie Kern's forthcoming book is like reading a "Who is Who" in the "Kindest Geographer" category: @KateParizeau @NoellaJGray @AlisonMountz @BrandAid_World @diana_ojedao

The book is pretty great, too.

Love that @jonnyjjt took a walk through geography’s history with a visit to The Loft, former home of Professors Derwent Whittlesey, Harold Kemp, and Edward Ackerman. This was a gathering place for queer friends and Harvard geographers.

[Jonny Turnbull 🇺🇦 @jonnyjjt]

During my recent visit to Harvard, inspired by @AlisonMountz and @kira__williams, I visited 'The Loft', a key space in geography's US history.

@raulpacheco You should!!!

As states retreat from provision of asylum, the vast, violent infrastructure to restrict access remains. Often designed as temporary, ad hoc border enforcement and detention practices live on in communities and bodies where they were constructed, imported, and survived.

@journalofpolit1 @kira__williams We expand on writing about this history published by Neil Smith, other geographers, and PhD student Rita Morris who completed a dissertation on the subject in 1962. We affirm and strengthen some of their findings, while departing from and challenging others.
