Shawn Bodden & @Faxsly advocate that stickers, although subtle and small, are tools of political activism that promote public interchange, sociomaterial claims-making, and recognize their role in ordinary political action.

[Edinburgh Justice for Palestine @eu_jps]

There are no words that can describe yesterday's massacre in Rafah. What more is needed to persuade these criminals in power of the depravity of their silence? What is there left to see in order to stop this genocide? We must all escalate.

These names, members of the executive committee of #BalfourUniversity will be etched in history for their complicity: Peter Mathieson, Colm Harmon, Leigh Chalmers, Kim Graham, Dave Gorman, Lee Hamill, Lucy Evans, Catherine Martin.

Political stickers in the news! Where a sticker is placed can have a huge impact on how it is interpreted:

Now a fantastic presentation from Dr Hannah Awcock @Faxsly on how political stickers impact on the urban environment and form part of the coproduction of places.

[Dr. Hannah Awcock @Faxsly]

I have been in this job since July and it is great! The team is wonderful, and I have a decent work-life balance and job security, which is a lot more than I can say for any of the academic jobs I have over the years! Happy to chat to anyone who's interested in the role.

My summer holiday this year was a road trip around Ireland, so brace yourselves for an as-yet-undetermined number of blog posts about it! https://t.co/rDUIqjyWbs

[Dr. Hannah Awcock @Faxsly]

@mcbenwell Thank you! I am quite proud of the title 😂

[Dr. Hannah Awcock @Faxsly]

Very excited that this book is out, and proud to be in such excellent company!

[Dr. Hannah Awcock @Faxsly]

@ahjackman @olivia_r_mason Thank you Anna, and thank you for doing this project, it is so important!

[Dr. Hannah Awcock @Faxsly]

As someone who spent the last 5 years in fixed-term contracts, and had to leave academic Geography in order to get a permanent job, this feels like a very necessary and timely project!

@Rebecca__B Thank you! It's been a rough 6 months, but I have a secure job that I'm excited about now. I hope your new(ish) job is going well!

[Dr. Hannah Awcock @Faxsly]

@MysteriousDrBex I'm not sure what I am at the moment! But I have a permanent job as an Academic Skills Adviser which I'm excited about, and that's more than enough for now

[Dr. Hannah Awcock @Faxsly]

@olivia_r_mason Thanks Liv. It hasn't been an easy 6 months but I'm relieved to be done with the academic job hunt. I started as an Academic Skills Adviser at Edinburgh Napier this week and I'm very excited about it!

[Dr. Hannah Awcock @Faxsly]

Really enjoyed writing this paper about trans rights stickers in Edinburgh with @getrael - it has been great to collaborate with a friend and colleague

[The Journal of Lesbian Studies @JournalLesbian]

HOT OFF THE PRESS BY @Faxsly @getrael "As geographers interested in ordinary, unnoticed, and often disregarded expressions of resistance, this paper ...strengthen alliances between geographies of resistance, trans, queer, and feminist geographies." https://t.co/e6eyA7i8gF

[Stef Dickers @stefdickers]

Huge thanks to the beautiful folk who donated their signs to the @MoTransology collections today at #LondonTransPride. They’re now safely back @BishopsgateInst where they will be catalogued and treasured. Thanks to the heroic team that got them here too! xxx

[Dr. Hannah Awcock @Faxsly]

I haven't been very good at blogging for the last few months, but Turbulent Isles is back with a post about political stickers that are critical (slight understatement!) of the Police.
