abc.net.au/listen/programs/i…. at 2.17 mins in you'll hear me on ABC radio discussing current plans at UOW to disestablish the Discipline of Geography and Sustainability.
We just landed back in Sydney from our amazing adventure in India! 170 million years ago we were neighbours, now we’re friends across the sea. Until next time 🧡🤍💚
This trip would not be possible without our partnership w/ @D_Endeavours & @dakshin_seas! Their passion for conservation & social justice alongside their approach to establishing long-term, ethical & reciprocal relationships w/ communities & community orgs means our students…
Students always say this trip is the highlight of their degree. We have Asha, Karishma & Vidisha to thank for that this year! The dream team!
Found the bowling alley in Bangalore! Wherever I travel I try to find the bowling alley (I love tenpin bowling 🎳). A game that crosses many boarders & cultures! I love that this one didn’t have strobe lighting - classic alley. The pin outside also a delight #GeographiesOfBowling

Joyous to see you teaching in action @LauraAH110 dancing the way into the hearts and minds of students 💃 🌏🇮🇳
Day 13 - Part 1: Early safari w/ a very special tiger sighting. Nicknamed the lantana safari - this experience was particularly unique! Tradition dictates (from the 1st group who saw a king cobra), that those who saw the tiger are now obligated to get a tattoo of one 🐅!
Day 12 - part 1: Started w/ bird watching. We visited a small holder Soliga coffee plantation & spoke w/ founder of Black Baza Coffee Co. & fellow Human Geographer, Dr Arshiya Bose. Arshiya questions the impact/strength of international certifications re: enviro/social claims.
Part 4: Forest rights ‘allows’ the Soliga ppl to produce & sell non-forest Timber Products (NTFP). We visited a processing unit that produces honey, coffee, turmeric, pepper & other forest products. I’ve bought some to share with/ the school!
