Just reflecting on Frank Oates (1875) @cat_poh and @msaldrgeog - he wrote: "Metse-a-tunya" meaning "water sounding" in what he calls an "African language" which is known by contemporary geographers as Victoria Falls. Important hidden histories @GA and @RGS_IBG @DecoloniseGeog 👇

[Bethany @msaldrgeog]

Had a really amazing day today working with @GilbertWhites @unisouthampton focusing on #decolonisegeography #decolonisehistory thinking about creating accessible resources for teachers 🙌🌍 and finally got to meet some amazing educators too @IramSammar @cat_poh @DecoloniseGeog

[Decolonising Geography @DecoloniseGeog]

Great initiative - hope some #geographyteacher will reach out to @cat_poh to explore hidden histories!

[Cat Poh @cat_poh]

A new hidden histories decolonising project is looking to work with more teachers to reveal marginalised Indigenous voices. Run by Southhampton uni + Gilbert White’s House museum with the RGS. The workshop is taking place on 30th May 2022- if anyone is interested, please DM me!

@Geography_Emma @DecoloniseGeog Really lovely to talk to you too and I hope so!

[Cat Poh @cat_poh]

#GAConf22 was p incredible. Deeply honoured and grateful to work with these (and other members) of the @DecoloniseGeog collective

[Cat Poh @cat_poh]

@GeoWalshe @DecoloniseGeog Thanks Nicola!

[Cat Poh @cat_poh]

@SusanJPike @DecoloniseGeog It was great to meet you too, I/we appreciate the kind words!

[Voices Project @VoicesProject_]

Also attended an amazing session with @DecoloniseGeog about breaking down boundaries between ‘powerful knowledge’ and ‘everyday knowledges’ to make future curriculums that empower the marginalised. Exciting work! So many critical ideas to help develop our resource! #GAConf22

[Prof Sarah Marie Hall @Sarah_M_Hall]

"When I was kindly invited to write this blog... I wondered what I could add, what I could say about everyday geographies of austerity, when so much has happened." 💔 Thanks @DecoloniseGeog for encouraging me to write about the stories not told ✊

[Cat Poh @cat_poh]

My year 9s interpreted Tanya @tagaq 's cover of 'caribou' as part of their Arctic unit. We had an incredible discussion about how she uses throat singing and the lyrics to express emotions about colonialism and acculturation. Very proud rn!
