I've managed to get through 3000 books in the past 3 months forming a massive database of books published by or in association with National Museums Scotland and its predecessors. So much to say on museology and nation-building from the perspectives of this now-defunct (as of 2025) national press!

Just received my copy of the open access Promise of Cultural Geography edited by @vickiezhang.bsky.social & @benandersongeog.bsky.social. Happy to have contributed!! Honestly, I'm surprised it survived the post, though: they saved me the trouble of opening anything 😄!

Mae'r gwaith yn iawn araf.

I've spent the past two days tracing the last remaining elements of Amgueddfa Cymru's presence in Caernarfon Harbour while they owned and contributed labor, material, and financial resources towards the operation of the Seiont II and Nantlys ships @amgueddfacymru.bsky.social

Looking forward to jumping back into another TICCIH Congress tomorrow in Kiruna. In the meantime, tracing Kiruna's historical links to Narvik has been thrilling! #TICCIH #TICCIH25

As I'm putting the finishing touches on my Wales program this year, I've turned to more Planet articles. Shorter, better written, and punchier, they make me hope for a return of the journal. #Wales #WelshStudies #Publishing

An 85-year old protest of the privatization of public services. Sargent Johnson laid down his saw as soon as the Federal and San Francisco city governments sold out to turn the publically-funded Aquatic Park into a private casino. Glad to see it now in the care of the NPS.

Welcome to Michigan, #AAG2025! I'll be right over; just a 9-hour drive across our beautiful state. @geographers.bsky.social

Very excited to see this work from 2022 finally out in the Annals @geographers.bsky.social! Managing the Imagined Spatialities of Protected Sites: (Un)Bounding Industrial #WorldHeritage via #MentalMaps. Happy to share a copy if anyone needs access. #geography www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Today is the deadline to register for this year's #Welsh Studies Conference. Hope to see others in Ohio this summer! #Wales

Happy St. David's Day! If you know of anyone looking for more UG or Grad credits and an opportunity to visit Wales, put them in touch with me, as I still have a few spots on my study abroad this summer! The application deadline is Friday. #StDavidsDay #DyddGŵylDewi

We're very excited to announce the slate of keynotes for this summer's NAASWCH International Welsh Studies Conference! Dr. Valerie Hill-Jackson, @jerryhunter.bsky.social (@bangormodlangs.bsky.social), and @richardwynjones.bsky.social (@culawandpolitics.bsky.social). #WelshStudies #Wales #Welsh

How do you transition from extractive industrial agriculture to a non-extractive tourism industry? Very carefully and through collective resilience. Love having these conversations with our students in the Yucatán. #SpringBreak @michigantech.bsky.social

I'm an avid critic of impact factors and other journal metrics but as a geographer starting even at the bachelor's, we're trained to ideolize the Annals. Woke up to this email and can't express how much joy and affirmation it gives me. Looking forward to sharing it in print alongside my co-authors!

I've been working up a literary #geography project on the museum publications of #AmgueddfaCymru. Many are now only found in the boxes of secondhand bookstores. This copy, signed by both author and owner (both prominent #Welsh #archaeologists), holds a letter from the author's widow. #Caerleon #Cadw

This research was so incredibly fun to work on with the entire group who traveled to #Wales with me last summer for our inaugural @michigantech.bsky.social Community Transformations program! From industrial heritage to chemical engineering engineering, I hope this student-scholar pattern continues.

It is finally "why do you need to stand as close as you possibly can to the fire‽" season.

This is insane. We took down all of our office directory info today from our websites and in our building. It was for a different, but unfortunately not unrelated, reason.

Huzzah for the @waybackmachine.bsky.social!! I've been Chair of the Historical Geog SG for months now with no bylaws, but I finally found them hidden on a now-defunct JMU server! If you want to join our board, we apparently have 3 open positions!!
