✨ I’m pleased to share that I’ve been appointed Professor of Just Urban Futures in the Dept. of Geography and Environment at @lborouniversity.bsky.social
I’m also excited to work with the Climate Compatible Growth #CCG team, who are pretty radical in their impact.
It's been a warm first week :)

2. Invisible Women by @ccriadoperez.bsky.social is a data gem reminding us that men only think about men in science, technology, policy, or advocacy, at home or at work, about the past or the future.
A must must read and reflect for every man.

Making time for more reading in 2025. I am going to share some books that have really impacted my thinking about the world.
1. Academic Outsider by Victoria Reyes reminds academia is very wealthy and male, distant from most people’s lives, & not very progressive. There is hope though!

Pleased 😇 to share work on how #segregation research is epistemologically interdependent with prevalent economic theories neglecting systems that maintain #inequality.

Sharing new preprint "Reclaiming Data Science for Just Geographies" with co-authors Laura, Juliana and @caitrobin.bsky.social, & fab contributions from artist Namrata N.
We call for a critical approach to data science that brings justice at the centre of analysis.

At the lovely @lorentzcenter.bsky.social this week for the #Urban River Transformations workshop.
We just opened a can of worms that leads us to the Lea River in the UK, a highly industrialised and deregulated corridor of pollution that goes to the Thames, and then the Sea.
No neighbours, so BAU.

Changing station in Paris is easy. Get on the RER and it’s two stops to Gare de Lyon. Biking might also be feasible, although not much time between trains to experiment this time.

Stopped long distance conference travel post covid and shorter flights don’t make sense either. Taking first long distance European continental train journey to Zurich!
☕️ aboard EMR from Nottingham to London this am.
Now on the Eurostar monopoly to Paris with a 🥐.

Victoria Reyes’ book Academic Outsider is so deeply resonant of my own difficulties within academia - a very specific kind of selective pseudo-liberal institution.
I can’t begin to write how I feel yet but I think it’s finally pushed me over to rethink my relationship with the academy. 😶🌫️

- Nationalise cross country into a sprinter service, connecting smaller towns with bigger cities.
- Bring the faster service models to connect big cities at high speeds.
- Keep pricing consistent with distance and speed
- get rid of Trainline

1. Start by rethinking what accessibility means for people, not just those going from home to work 9-5 but everyone else living in society. We often only think about the yellow bit ⬇️ but widen horizons to a persons social and spatial spheres.

In '19 we used TFL data to disentangle commuting traffic from other trips, and were able to show multiple tube stations in London host a variety of other travel demand and behaviour. The PT system only prioritises work but so much can be done for people.
