Late to the party but finally received my copy of this today. Really amazing to see it in print. I learnt so much writing with @inneskeighren and it’s an honour to feature alongside so many brilliant historical geographers.

🚨Call for Participants: States of Precarity🚨
The use of fixed-term contracts is widespread in UK HE Geography but it's effects (long & short term) are not well understood. This project seeks to address this by exploring experiences of precarity across UK academic geography🧵
Really great to write this entry on ‘Historical Geographies’ with my brilliant colleague @Carry_vLieshout 📚
Looking forward to reading the other contributions.
Concise Encyclopedia of Human Geography (ed by @LorettaCLees and David Demeritt) out now.

Great induction to @routesjournal tonight. Pleased to be a small part of an initiative giving voice to a-level and undergraduate geographers.
Really great to see these @GeographyOU @OUFreeLearning materials hosted on @The_GA website. Hope they are useful for students and teachers alike!
Another new addition to our #Geographyfromhome section! Our friends from @GeographyOU have put together a range of materials suitable for A level students and teachers. Check them out here >>> geography.org.uk/Open-Univer…
Postgrad historical geographers and allied scholars — do think about sending in your abstract to this CfP. Having spoken at and organised these in the past I can endorse the friendly and supportive nature of these sessions!
POSTGRADS. Are you a historical geographer? A historian who reads texts classed as 'Geography?' A Literary scholar concerned with past landscapes? Or like me, a heritage person who has waltzed into a Geography dept? If so this session @ the @RGS_IBG 2020 conference is for YOU
