Our new piece out today in Times Higher Education about the threats to Geography in the UK - particularly fieldwork - please do share. It links to a recent snapshot survey on the challenges being faced in UK HE, which highlights the inequities of the challenges, but also fears of what is yet to come

Daniel Allen and I are organising an @rgsibg.bsky.social conference (hybrid) session on legal animal geographies.
We invite papers that not only highlight current multispecies injustice, but seek to challenge, resist, and contest these systems to create more just multispecies worlds and futures.

We would love for @jaytoddgla.bsky.social’s and my critical response to be read widely, given the Sullivan Review’s potential for far-reaching implications across the social and health sciences — and indeed well beyond the academy
Animals Are Climate Allies. So Why Are We Leaving Them Out of Climate Policy? https://therevelator.org/animals-climate-allies/
Myself & many colleagues are facing this at Sheffield Uni - double punishment for strike action. In the midst of this, yesterday many departments got an email announcing imminent structural reviews (ie redundancies). @sheffielducu.bsky.social
The University of Sheffield has stopped paying staff.
Not for striking but for refusing to work unpaid to make up for strike days they were already docked for.
This is punishment, not negotiation. And it’s completely reckless.

The British honours system is corrupt and disgusting and any educated person who accepts one goes down in my estimation - especially if it's a VC who is closing a geography department, and who was born in a country subjugated by the British empire. www.timeshighereducation.com/news/new-yea...
Teaching animal Geographies research flyer. Includes a QR code. The text is written in the post.
I have designed a 20min questionnaire looking to explore how you all teach animal geographies.
The survey aims to understand your pedagogical practices, course design, and how you translate all that animal geographies research out there to your students.

Looking for responses to my teaching animal geographies survey!
If you teach any form of animal geographies in Higher education whether single lectures to full modules I'll be grateful for your response!
This was a brutal read. An incisive rendering of the life of ECRs and (false) promise of an academic career:

If you would like to complete the survey, please click the link or scan the QR code on the flyer.
If you would like to chat in an interview, rather than do the questionnaire, or have any questions about the research, please email me!

Following the survey there is an option for you to leave your name and email for a 30-60 minute interview where I will seek to explore any questions arising from your questionnaire response, the emotional labour of teaching animal geographies, and anything else you think is important.

There are no geographical requirements of your teaching having to have been in the UK.
I take animal Geographies as broadly conceived rather than any narrow conception. (E.g., your teaching ould be on animals and society or specifically on conservation).
3/
The survey can be undertaken by anyone at any career stage (e.g., Teaching fellows, lectures, profs, retired colleagues), with the caveat that you are teaching, or have taught, animal geographies in HE (e.g., one class, a module, or part of a wider course).

This is a graphical abstract for this paper in The Geographical Journal. It is a photograph of three 'lifestyle migrants' in China celebrating a dog's birthday with seven large dogs gathered around them.
New in The GJ:
'Multispecies home (un)making: Dogs and lifestyle migrants in Lijiang Ancient Town, China' by Duo Yin & Quan Gao
This paper explores how dogs co-construct and contest the making of home alongside lifestyle migrants in China.
