Just back from a fantastic experience at the International Conference of Historical Geographers at Fudan University, Shanghai. As well as catching up with my old #GeoEducation buddy Hermione, I gained new perspectives on my field, including the Scottish poet I wrote my undergraduate dissertation on!

Feeling energised after yesterday's PGR conference on Social and Environmental Sustainability at @uofgdumfries.bsky.social. It was a great prompt to consider my own work through the lens of the UN #SustainableDevelopmentGoals, as well as hearing a range of critical, cross-disciplinary perspectives.
