Shawn Bodden & @Faxsly advocate that stickers, although subtle and small, are tools of political activism that promote public interchange, sociomaterial claims-making, and recognize their role in ordinary political action.

There are no words that can describe yesterday's massacre in Rafah. What more is needed to persuade these criminals in power of the depravity of their silence? What is there left to see in order to stop this genocide? We must all escalate.
These names, members of the executive committee of #BalfourUniversity will be etched in history for their complicity: Peter Mathieson, Colm Harmon, Leigh Chalmers, Kim Graham, Dave Gorman, Lee Hamill, Lucy Evans, Catherine Martin.
Political stickers in the news! Where a sticker is placed can have a huge impact on how it is interpreted:

Now a fantastic presentation from Dr Hannah Awcock @Faxsly on how political stickers impact on the urban environment and form part of the coproduction of places.
I am part of an online seminar tomorrow (the 22nd), part of the @ihr_history People, Place and Community series. We will be discussing Creative Practice, Community, and the Street: Creative Co-Productions of Place-based Identities, at 17:30. Come along!

I have been in this job since July and it is great! The team is wonderful, and I have a decent work-life balance and job security, which is a lot more than I can say for any of the academic jobs I have over the years! Happy to chat to anyone who's interested in the role.
We're looking for an #AcademicSkills Adviser to join our team @EdinburghNapier, providing integrated support in programmes in @ENUApplyScience, across the university and individual #StudentSupport to @NapierStudents. Applications close 26th November 2023. jobs.napier.ac.uk/mthrprod_w…

Very much looking forward to dusting off my research hat for this panel, I think it will be a very interesting discussion!
Wednesday 22nd November we have a panel discussion about creative practice, community and the street. We will be joined by @Faxsly, Nadiia Lolina and Katherine Wheeler (@TheStovies) to explore this theme. Join us online from 5.30pm. Sign up here: history.ac.uk/events/creativ… 6/
My summer holiday this year was a road trip around Ireland, so brace yourselves for an as-yet-undetermined number of blog posts about it! turbulentisles.com/2023/08/2…
Very excited that this book is out, and proud to be in such excellent company!

As someone who spent the last 5 years in fixed-term contracts, and had to leave academic Geography in order to get a permanent job, this feels like a very necessary and timely project!
Are you a geographer currently or previously affiliated with a UK university? We want to hear your views and experiences of precarity.
Have your say 👉 orlo.uk/3xYaL
Project team: @SquireRachael @rachelcolls @Ahjackman @PeterjForman1 @JohanneMBruun @HarrietGeogArt.
ALT Text on image reads: CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS. STATES OF PRECARITY. Have your say on the state of precarity in UK Geography. In collaboration with the RGS-IBG, States of Precarity is a research project exploring precarity in UK university Geography. It aims to: • Better understand the immediate and long-term effects of precarity on Geography academics (postgraduate to professor), and those who have left academia. • Provide a snapshot of the far-reaching implications of precarity on the discipline. • Inform the development of best practice guidelines for UK Geography Departments. If you are a geographer in a UK university (postgraduate onwards), or a geographer who has left a UK university, we want to hear about your views and experiences of precarity. Follow the link below to participate: https://rgs-ibg.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/states-of-precarity. Survey will run from 24th July to 24th October 2023. Find out more: http://www.statesofprecarity.co.uk.
Really enjoyed writing this paper about trans rights stickers in Edinburgh with @getrael - it has been great to collaborate with a friend and colleague
HOT OFF THE PRESS BY @Faxsly @getrael "As geographers interested in ordinary, unnoticed, and often disregarded expressions of resistance, this paper ...strengthen alliances between geographies of resistance, trans, queer, and feminist geographies." tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Huge thanks to the beautiful folk who donated their signs to the @MoTransology collections today at #LondonTransPride. They’re now safely back @BishopsgateInst where they will be catalogued and treasured. Thanks to the heroic team that got them here too! xxx
I haven't been very good at blogging for the last few months, but Turbulent Isles is back with a post about political stickers that are critical (slight understatement!) of the Police.

Absolutely over the moon to have received 2 nominations for Teacher of the Year in the @EdUniStudents Teaching Awards! It means so much to know that I've made a difference to my students, so thank you to those who took the time to nominate me @GeosciencesEd

Less than 1% of the UK population is trans, yet their right to even exist is subject to constant debate
Trans people are intimidated, attacked, and humiliated - often by people who should know better
This week the EHRC has acted as an arm of government and the right. Sickening

I wrote a chapter about Brexit stickers for this book. I'm still irrationally proud of myself for getting the word 'Bollocks' into the title of a piece of academic writing! I'm proud to be in such excellent company too, but it's mainly the sweary thing 😁 #lifegoals
