Does anyone know of Harvard referencing exercises for students who've never used Harvard? I am looking for games/exercises that can be used in a pair or small group.
Settling into my new post, I am now looking for potential PhD candidates interested in digital geographies, politics of refusal, urban interventions and/or geographical theory.
Funding applications would be made to the South Coast DTP. Get in touch. https://t.co/L8P4AIHWuP
@MichGwynn We didn't make any recordings but some of the papers are out or due to come out. My PhD thesis 'Waiting Through Furlough: A Geography of Disorientation' explored different forms of disorientation. It has sections which may help you find further literature https://t.co/CPPunk45SO
Exciting series of events this fall with the Northumbria Social and Cultural Geographies Research Group. Hybrid when possible, so get in touch for Teams links. @NUGeog
Sad to hear of the passing of Kris Kristopherson RIP. Not many know that he played an open air gig in South Wales in 1972. It was held just outside Newport in the Caerleon Roman Amphitheatre and was mainly attended by local college & school kids! https://t.co/nj9VOf83qt
