Late to the party but finally received my copy of this today. Really amazing to see it in print. I learnt so much writing with @inneskeighren and it’s an honour to feature alongside so many brilliant historical geographers.

🚨Call for Participants: States of Precarity🚨

The use of fixed-term contracts is widespread in UK HE Geography but it's effects (long & short term) are not well understood. This project seeks to address this by exploring experiences of precarity across UK academic geography🧵

Looking forward to reading the other contributions.

Walton Hall picket line. So proud of you all. Stay warm! :) #solidarity #OUFamily #UCUStrike

@inneskeighren Not necessarily anything new to add but I’m seeing the final letter as a ‘k’ rather than a ‘t’. Which would put me in the ‘bilk’/‘bolk’ camp.

[Benjamin Newman @BenNew92]

Some nice news that my thesis has emerged from its embargo period. Made me feel productive without having to do anything!

[Benjamin Newman @BenNew92]

@inneskeighren Thanks Innes! If anyone needs any advice on how not to publish anything during an embargo period, hit me up!
