Might be biased, but these reasons why geographers remain relevant are only the tip of the (albeit receding) iceberg

I had to ask…

The crushing disappointment of discovering that I have once again brought the tub of cat treats to work instead of my breakfast.

New Geography offering this spring.

My brain hurts with the effort of whittling down the wealth of amazing essential readings. Feel free to make it even harder by sharing your favorites!

[Dr. E. C. Kaufman @ResearchLion]

World Regional Geography: In 4 months take 100 1st years from 20 different majors who don't even know the word 'periphery' & teach them the economic, political, cultural, historical and f*¢king physical geography. Of THE WORLD. As that world shifts wildly beneath you.

[TU Geography @TUGeography]

That's a basic idea in geography too; on shared public spaces you've got Staeheli, Mitchell, Neil Smith, Harvey, Brandi Summers, but for interior shared space, Rashad Shabazz's Spatializing Blackness comes to mind, esp. the kitchenette chapter.
Geographers, what else?

[Fred Scharmen @sevensixfive]

A (wonderful & very patient) editor is looking for a reference to cite backing up a basic idea in architecture, that shared space like hallways & streets contribute to social life, and my saturated brain is drawing a blank. What's the foundational work here? Holly Whyte? Jacobs?

[Dillon Mahmoudi @dillonm]

Okay #gischat, what's a good example of when you need symmetrical difference that *isn't* something you can do with clip/erase? I've only ever needed it a handful of times, and can't remember why - and was struggling to come up with an example when teaching?

Excited to use this beautiful 'field guide' (which reads like poetry) by TU Geography professor @kelseybhanrahan and @gouchercollege's @EmilyBillo.
It's in the user-friendly downloadable conference proceedings:

Congrats to our @TowsonU colleague @dowellml on this biting call-out of one of academia's dangerous contradictions.

The Mask-Optional DEI Initiative by @dowellml https://t.co/eGjABHjeIH

[Dr. E. C. Kaufman @ResearchLion]

100%. "Schools that have officially departed from masking, incl. begrudgingly 'allowing' people to still mask if they individually choose to do so, are stating an ongoing commitment to purposeful exclusion"

[Eden Kinkaid (they/them) @queergeog]

Omg y’all @WTFisGeography has been around for only like 10

Lots of Covid around now. If someone in your household is sick, minimize risk of spread by opening windows, putting fan in sick person's window facing out, portable air cleaner near the sick person, humidifying to 40-60% might help and wouldn't hurt (more relevant in winter).

[American Association of Geographers @theAAG]

Jordan, Shortridge, & Darden measure the degree of underrepresentation of ethnic & racial minorities in geography, investigate the reasons for the disparity, and call geographers to act on representational equity: https://t.co/5jLTlqU6gd #BlackGeographies @LatinxGeog @BlackGeogs

[D.P. is @dpurifoy.bsky.social @daniellepurifoy]

Two Black geographers studying Black geographies announced tenure this week (so far) and another gave us the reveal of his new book! Congratulations @camillahawth @_blusummers and @JovanLewis! So excited for the future of the @BlackGeogs universe.
