My chapter 'Toward Asexual Geographies' features in the 10-yr anniversary edition of Asexualities. Feels like a full circle moment!
In it, I ask how asexuality studies and geographies of sexuality can enrich the other + think space asexually.

Update: the Viva has been rearranged, it's going to be a little while to wait but looking forward to it! Also I'm feeling a lot better than I was - finally off the painkillers 🌞
I was meant to have my Viva today (it would have started 15 minutes ago!), and had been looking forward to it for a few months. Unfortunately I've been dealing with a long term health condition, and it reared its head last week and landed me in A&E.
