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. Read more in: 'Let Geography Die: The Rise, Fall, and “Unfinished Business” of Geography at Harvard' tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… #geography

Last week I had coffee with my good friend @AlisonMountz and I mentioned how much of my work is migratory-processes-adjacent: public toilets, drinking water infrastructure, adaptation to climate change in cities, homelessness. I should do more work on migration.

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.

@journalofpolit1 @kira__williams We expand on writing about this history published by Neil Smith, other geographers, and PhD student Rita Morris who completed a dissertation on the subject in 1962. We affirm and strengthen some of their findings, while departing from and challenging others.

ASRC@ASRC1

Listen in. @janafavero is in Parliament with @BehrouzBoochani, who is about to address Parliament today calling for the support of the bill that would lead to the evacuation of all refugees still held offshore in PNG and Nauru to Australia.
