NEW GEOGRAPHY JOURNAL!

Agoriad: A Journal of Spatial Theory.

Issue 1, special issue on Indigenous Ontologies, out now, open access. It looks excellent.

Congratulations to the managing and issue editors on making this happen.

Very grateful to the local team who took part in Mouse Exchange facilitator training in advance of the event, as it meant everyone could take part, many more nice made and even the industry-stand representatives joined us in conversation and crafting.

Yesterday @drpaulhurley and I led a Mouse Exchange workshop at the University of Strathclyde #3Rs and #CultureofCare day. Struggled to get a photo of some of the 50+ mice made, as everyone wanted to take them home..

Ethics in the training of dogs to assist humans, specifically, to open doors. Jamie Arathoon & I study a classroom as it happens from an EMCA approach. The whole SI on ‘animal geographies at the limits’ is now out. #emca @jamiearathoon.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Very excited to just have gotten the green light for my book 'Techno-Negative: A History of Refusal' (Uni of Minnesota Press). The book, which traces histories of techno-refusal, is due early next calendar year. (re-)Reading these reviewer recommendations for help with final revisions.

Very exciting to be starting to work with @theostanley.bsky.social to start to fathom out how metabolic geographies can reshape ideas around food system resilience. Stay tuned! And yes snowflakes everywhere @sotongeogenviron.bsky.social today.

Excited to be advertising this collaborative PhD project idea with @thomas-dekeyser.bsky.social

I was reading your non-relational paper this morning on the train. You are master of the most pertinent and delightful quote! Mixing your work into questions about Non-animal models..

If poss have your own cooking or washing step with what you eat, but our RTE food market is going the opposite way with more food safety risks, potentially. We live with microbes and some can make the vulnerable very very sick, but finding the ‘baddies’ can be like finding a needle in a haystack.

Learning a lot about Shiga Toxin E Coli (STEC) today, thanks to the Food Safety Research Network. Complicated and challenging how to risk assess, monitor and test its presence in the food system- cattle, water, ReadyToEat leafy greens and into humans (killing some tragically this summer).

Lots of sewing and chatting about chicken on Saturday at #artsandhumanitiesfest @unisouthampton.bsky.social First UKRI/BBSRC/DEFRA #TRISoMeCHICKEN event.. more to come. Thanks to the fantastic team who facilitated.

Now out in Science policy forum: Exploring the question of who cares for and about laboratory rodents through work of the Animal Research Nexus Team www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
