I could go on forever about the ideas that were exchanged over the last three days. I’ll just say that I leave #RGSIBG25 inspired, encouraged and fulfilled of having crossed paths with so much wonderful research! See you next year at the next @rgsibg.bsky.social conference!

And another smash hit yesterday was the overflowing first session of Time, Temporalities and Timescapes. There’s clearly a need for all of us who’re thinking about space in one way or another, to address the intersections of our research with this other very important axis in our lives… #RGSIBG25
Lecture room filled with people at the University of Birmingham.

The panel “What Is Critical Geography, and What Can, and Must, It Be?” yesterday was so necessary to think about the futures we aspire to have - whilst having to address all sorts of emergencies now. Thank you @sklosterkamp.bsky.social for convening! #RGSIBG25

This morning I got to hear more New and Emerging Research in the session sponsored @polgrg.bsky.social. I was particularly happy to hear the last presentation my amazing colleague Estelle will have given before submitting her thesis in a few weeks #RGSIBG25
Forthcoming chapter by Estelle in the De Gruyter Handbook of Feminist Political Geography 😉

Last Wednesday at the Gender and Feminist Geography RG session, I heard such wonderful methodological innovations in research so diverse: from hiking in Scotland to menstruating in Czech Republic and Slovakia, to experiencing what it feels like to be a migrant in Thessaloniki…

Throughout the conference I met up with many of my @qmul.bsky.social colleagues, but also managed to catch up with people like the newly minted Dr @saanchi.bsky.social by the marquee 🫶🏽. A very friendly atmosphere for networking, indeed #RGSIBG25

I used to live tweet conferences in The Other Place, and I wish I’d done it for @rgsibg.bsky.social here on Bluesky… but alas, here are some impressions from the past three days at the University of Birmingham #RGSIBG25

I can rave all day about Bristol itself, the shops, the people the hills (ok, I wasn’t so crazy about that), but I’ll just show a few images of street art and the promise to return for more.

Street art depicting a person hanging from a window with two other people ignoring them and just looking out. A white wall with the grey silhouette of a capybara (carpincho) in grey at the bottom.

Our panel on Reproductive Justice yesterday with @lasandunga.bsky.social and Erika Herrera Rosales was truly thought provoking. Anonymous sources report that I can keep my “vivaciousness” in English as well, which is a nice piece of feedback to have #SLAS2025

Ah, just lovely to realise that the ‘quiet carriage’ is just a figment of my imagination 👌🏽

Ah finally a #caturday reporting from HQ. Happy to say I’m not being punished (that much) for playing a vanishing act these last few months. Not happy to say they haven’t yet approached their new carriers 😒.
