What does it feel like to be paid not to work?
In a new paper I discuss the experiences of furloughed workers I interviewed from across the UK. My study revealed that, for some, furlough became a disorientating experience.

⏰This month's research spotlight article explores the impact time out of work during COVID-19 had on how we socialised, travelled and worked.
Through 35 interviews, the research revealed how disorientation was felt in different ways.

Honoured that the RGS-IBG have highlighted my research paper 'Living a ‘shadow life’: The disorientations of losing orientation and agency while waiting through furlough' on their website.

Does anyone know of Harvard referencing exercises for students who've never used Harvard? I am looking for games/exercises that can be used in a pair or small group.

Settling into my new post, I am now looking for potential PhD candidates interested in digital geographies, politics of refusal, urban interventions and/or geographical theory.

Amazing! @aledsingleton @Joel_Hughes
Sad to hear of the passing of Kris Kristopherson RIP. Not many know that he played an open air gig in South Wales in 1972. It was held just outside Newport in the Caerleon Roman Amphitheatre and was mainly attended by local college & school kids! m.youtube.com/watch?feature=…

.@tammiewongg is presenting from her honours research ‘Gaps: The discontinuities and dislocation in the lives of third culture kids’ in the first session of ‘Contemporary Forms of Disorientation’ on Wednesday 2.40-4.20pm Huxley Building Lecture Theatre 311.
The threatened 'mothballing' of @BlackwoodMiners is a potential act of cultural shortsightedness or vandalism. As an iconic community building, its threatened closure would not only affect the cultural opportunities in the valley but create a hole in the high street.⬇️
This morning, Caerphilly County Borough Council have release further information on the proposed future of Blackwood Miners' Institute. A 6 week public consultation will now take place, below is a link to further information.
