A good article and some interesting research methods too

Thanks @housmansbookshop.bsky.social for a fab time last week - a full shop + loads of great questions with @annaminton.bsky.social. Also the Fourth World Congress of #Psychogeography in Swansea. Such fun! Cheers @soniaoverall.bsky.social @aledsingleton.bsky.social #WalkCreate #Books #VivaDerive

Visualising Energy Supply Futures first workshop @cu-cardiffbusiness.bsky.social @merrynthomas.bsky.social
💡 Learning about hydro-electric energy Gilgit-Baltistan, northern Pakistan. Many issues of supply not meeting demand.

Another good two day session at the Crwsibl Cymru. Lots of interesting people and different ideas to consider about our careers in research. We worked hard and played hard also.

Energy supply is a huge issue, but it's hard to grasp what could actually happen in Wales and who could own it?

These free workshops use serious games and participatory mapping to visualise energy supply. The second workshop will link up with northern Pakistan.

Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o died yesterday. His 1986 book Decolonising the Mind considered the deeper impact of suppressing languages, in this case African languages, and particularly the results of holding back written forms.
Here is my review for Agoriad

Workshops to reimagine energy supply systems on July 2 or July 30! Explore shared power ownership, future networks, and map connections between Wales & northern Pakistan. No expertise needed—just your ideas!

After @welshcrucible.bsky.social Lab 1, I feel a clearer need for geographical research with a keen eye for the social and economic. There is a mission to help to explore renewable energy generation, how it is transmitted, and the dimensions of storage and end use. We have huge potential in Wales.

Vote for Greening Maindee Gateway Garden in RHS People's Choice Award. The result of many years of community action and belief in nature and people. This garden will be rebuilt and planted on Wharf Rd in Newport. Winning the award will help other initiatives to follow.

Very pleased to be part of the Welsh Crucible group of 30 people. Some highly varied research interests. We have tried out some interesting techniques and learned a lot about how to present our interests and what we can offer. Tomorrow we shape things a bit more #crucible25 #crwsiblcymru

New open access article in GeoHumanities

"Using walking approaches and site-specific performance to reveal layers of feeling attached to place"

This aims to meet the desire for dynamic and multi-dimensional aspects of studying feelings attached to places.
