So this is happening this evening. If you're in London come along. Should be fun and there's cake afterwards!

So I'm doing this inaugural lecture thing next week and you should all totally go to it.

'The results indicate a wide array of affective experiences related to place and suggest how enabling places for people with diverse needs and preferences may be conceptualised.' - @vivekaguzman (@RCSI_Irl) et al. in recent #areajournal special section orlo.uk/zbOok

They very kindly did a review forum of my book on greenspace experience and everyday practice in Social and Cultural Geog. Thanks to @profgpw @DrJennyA @davidbissell and @DrCecilyMaller for saying nice (also v insightful) things! tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…

@DrLaytonJ Maybe we should send them the paper? Politely, obviously.

I know not every paper can cite all relevant work. But I feel like if a recent paper has been published on the exact same case study, and you even talked to said author about that case study when they were getting to know the site, then maybe some engagement is merited 🤷‍♂️

(13/13) With thanks to Big Phil Emmerson @PhilEmmerson and Sarah M Hall @Sarah_M_Hall for their editorial nous! And all of your experts who reviewed and improved the papers!

(12/13) All of the papers are open access. And the papers should be really helpful for teaching budding social researchers.
