Well done Brian! Great to see this important topic getting national coverage.

Great 1st day to our International Urban Fieldwork trip to London. #UCDGeography students doing our school proud. Today’s focus: Power in the City. We explored how historical power and colonial processes continue to shape the city & how social identity & difference is performed in Chinatown and Soho
