Tbt to amazing weather & being on leave last week! I grew up in the mtns of Snowdonia (about 15 years between these photos!) so it's good to get back. It's been a super busy week in the run up to term but the lessons learned in the outdoors are fresh in mind #OneStepatATimeback

@petemcgowran Haha well hope it is useful grist for the mill anyway! This article looks really interesting, as well!

[Rob Shaw 🌆 @WhatIsRobShaw]

Been looking at various geog department websites for work, and am getting increasingly entertained by attempts to illustrate students doing human geography
New favourite is @GeographyUOM - where a student is forced to share a quite small desk with an unnecessarily huge globe...

[Melissa Gatter @melgatter]

I created this infographic to help students envision how they can responsibly 'do' development. At the heart of it is critical hope, a core pillar of @SussexDev teaching that shows students how they can be highly critical of development and still work to radically transform it.

[Olivia Taylor @otaylor9426]

@melgatter @SussexDev This is fantastic, many thanks for making & sharing!
