It was a pleasure to hear from @jmacleavy.bsky.social last week and her book “Enduring Austerity” for our last UoE social policy seminar of this academic year

Thank you so much to @haylesben.bsky.social for hosting me in Edinburgh!

I had a great time connecting with social policy colleagues who are researching the critical implications of welfare reform, following my talk on the uneven geographies of austerity at the Edinburgh Futures Institute.

I had a great time last week at the @buiraonline.bsky.social 2025. It was such a friendly conference, packed with good discussions around the geographies of good work. And, of course, being in Cornwall, I got a much needed dose of ‘vitamin sea’!

Join us at Edinburgh Uni on Monday 7th July as we welcome Prof Julie MacLeavy from Bristol University to discuss her book 'Enduring Austerity: The uneven geographies of the post-welfare state' (in-person only, register below pls).

🏆 Congratulations to Columba Peoples for winning the ISA STAIR Book Award for 'Security in Crisis: Planetary Emergence and the Technopolitics of Crisis Management'

📚 'Security in Crisis' is the first book in our series with OUP, Voices in International Relations

I made a starter pack of Human Geography Journals, for those of you (like me) for whom BSKY is a nice help in keeping up with the literature. Feel free to tip for me any journals I may have missed.
