Postdoc at Tampere University, Finland, researching queer histories of rurality and DIY / 'ITE' art

I'm a cultural geographer w/ special expertise in visual geographies and geographies of sexualities. Also write on affect, emotion and asexualities.
I was back in Bristol for New Year so I delivered another LGBTQ+ History Walk through the city centre on New Years Day! Yay for queer history and happy, smiling faces 💕

Another week another publication (!)

In 2023 I worked on a participatory project which researched thru the medium of documentary film

We explore how the processes of filmmaking relates to embodied trauma + its representation onscreen

This year I will probably move my online presence for work to LinkedIn. Feels a bit ick to do so, though. Can anyone give me some good advice on how to use LI effectively and without becoming soulless?

My Finland-Friday post this week is just more of the chapter that came out this week. I’m really proud of it and people have said nice things.

We’re having a ‘queer friendship’ coffee break next week to celebrate in the office 💚

Very pleased to have a chapter in 'Queer Geographies - Key Debates and Contending Perspectives' out now!

I write about LGBTQ+ friendships as sites of mutual aid and think specifically about queer rural relations and spaces. It's my first publication from my PhD

Deep in archive obsession: I spent this week with Finland’s dyke-kink subcultures, and lots of beautiful photographic portraits therein!

National Anthem (2023, dir. Luke Gilford)

I feel absolutely bodied! An unbelievably contemporary, tentative, intimate queer rural film. Utopian in parts, harrowingly pragmatic in others - a beautiful spotlight on gay rodeo cultures without overlooking rural poverty. Screen it everywhere!

Research visits to the Workers’ Museum, Tampere, began this week. I’ve been slipping around on the fresh snow too!

After a month or so of settling in, this week I began to feel like an active researcher again ⭐️🌝💛

Finnish painter Magnus Enckell was born on this week (9 Nov) in 1870. Thanks to @queermodernisms.bsky.social via Insta, I've been enjoying reading about his life and viewing his works.

1. Awakening Faun (1914)
2. By The Window (1919) - a slighter more green representation of my postdoc life atm!

In Turku at Åbo Akademi today for Gender Studies Day. So many great discussions circulating around crip-queer-feminisms, and archival time-travelling with a keynote from Eliza Steinbock. Thanks to the organisers for bringing us together!
