Taken time out this week to explore the Rondane National Park in Norway on horseback. Beautiful landscapes with a fab group of women!

***New Book***
A fantastic new #interdisciplinary #textbook from Palgrave! An accessible intro to theories of ‘spatially integrated decision support systems’ and a great resource for
students taking relevant courses in the environment. link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

An excellent first day at #STSItalia in Milan! It's been great to connect with so many of the STS community here at the conference. A little bit warmer than we're used to in the UK!!

Final day here in Detroit and at #AAG2025 The exhibits hall is open until 12:30pm so you still have time to drop by the Palgrave stand and pick up a book or discuss those writing plans you’ve been thinking about 😃

We are all set for #AAG2025 Come and visit the Palgrave stand if you’re here in Detroit. We’re always very happy to chat about all things books 📚

Detroit views not too shabby. Arrived for #AAG2025 as planned despite Heathrow chaos!
