I for one am eagerly awaiting some hot takes on Akon City from the intersection of critical urban and chronically online researchers

Excited to see this Housing Studies Special Issue out in the world - thanks so much to Ozlem Celik for putting it together (during the pandemic, no less). A lively set of papers grappling with housing and finance across the globe

In this piece, Louise Fitzgerald examines the limitations of a 'green transition from above', particularly the dismissal of rural places where much of the heavy infrastructure (and mining) for this transition is located.

In this piece, Lynda Sullivan brings us on a journey across the global frontier of extractive mining - from Indonesia to Ireland. A frontier that is expanding in the name of the so-called 'green transition'.

The delusion of mining for the climate rundale.org/2024/03/28/the…

More good content from the Rundale collective - Maedhbh Nic Lochlainn on relationship between global finance & PRS in Ireland; Lynda Sullivan on contradictions of mining for climate action; and Louise Fitzgerald on the blindspots of mainstream environmental policy.

Pleased to have a piece on corporate landlords in this 2nd release from Rundale, which is a new Irish media platform for critical left analysis - excellent pieces in this month’s issue on mining and environmental politics, they’re well worth a read over the long weekend

I’ve had a magic time on my ✨very first ✨ New Geography UCC field trip with Denis Linehan, RePIC postgrad Richard Cullen, and some of our best and brightest undergrads - we’ve missed the fab Therese Kenna, but it’s been a great week thinking about cities and space in Frankfurt

Very excited to see Rundale out in the world this leap year day - a fitting birthday for a project we’ve been stealing time for.
I’m of course biased, but have particularly enjoyed V'cenza Cirefice and participants’ counter mapping piece, available here: rundale.org/2024/02/29/cou…

FAO Early-career Irish Geographers, it's worth applying by 29th for the 2 Geographical Society of Ireland ECR awards (Postgrad Travel/Fieldwork and Doctoral Research)
DMs open to questions about what it was like applying for these. And supervisors, pls share with your (probably fabulous) students...

I’m obviously biased, but the new Leaving Cert subject is looking suspiciously like Geography to me…

Final CfPs for #IGC2024

I am very happy to have a paper published in Antipode and open access

Powerful work out now and OA by the fabulous Dr Fiadh Tubridy - militant research on tenant organising histories.

'A critical outcome of the project has been its recovery of a hitherto almost totally forgotten aspect of Irish working-class history...'
