Ever wonder what happened to the geography department at Harvard? Find out here: Let Geography Die: The Rise, Fall, and “Unfinished Business” of Geography at Harvard tandfonline.com/eprint/VZ2XD… @kira__williams #Letgeographydie
I cannot wait to read How to survive academia. Congrats @rohawkins and @LellyK !!!!
Reading the acknowledgments in Roberta Hawkins and Leslie Kern's forthcoming book is like reading a "Who is Who" in the "Kindest Geographer" category: @KateParizeau @NoellaJGray @AlisonMountz @BrandAid_World @diana_ojedao
The book is pretty great, too.

Love that @jonnyjjt took a walk through geography’s history with a visit to The Loft, former home of Professors Derwent Whittlesey, Harold Kemp, and Edward Ackerman. This was a gathering place for queer friends and Harvard geographers.
During my recent visit to Harvard, inspired by @AlisonMountz and @kira__williams, I visited 'The Loft', a key space in geography's US history.

As states retreat from provision of asylum, the vast, violent infrastructure to restrict access remains. Often designed as temporary, ad hoc border enforcement and detention practices live on in communities and bodies where they were constructed, imported, and survived.

The right to be protected as a refugee is not contingent on one’s mode of travel or on having proper government-issued documents. Yet the US is now denying that right to Venezuelan asylum seekers who cross the US border, says @BillFrelick of @HRW. thehill.com/opinion/immigrat…
Our film #safehaven about war resisters who came to Canada screens tomorrow night at @revuecinema. Come meet us, war resisters, and @romerohouseTO (your ticket proceeds go them).
