An incredibly difficult and sad decision to have to make. . . but it’s what’s best for the AAG, the American Association of Geographers staff, and many of our members Fingers crossed for 2023!!
Super excited to be running this with Ian Spangler for American Association of Geographers! Thinking through the hows/whys of research & writing seems pedantic but once you start you realize how many of processes get in the way doing work. It’ll be a nice mix between therapy and practical solutions too!

So happy to see American Association of Geographers working on this! It’s not perfect (nothing ever is) but it’s a significant step forward for us an an org—one that I hope we continue for future conferences

It’s official! I’m moving to Knoxville! Starting August 1, I’ll be joining UTK Geography & Sustainability as a tenure-track Assistant Professor!
This piece has made some waves in certain corners of the discipline…but I’m glad to be making some productive trouble with Bethany Craig and Jed!
