TODAY I PASSED MY PHD WITH MINOR AMENDMENTS! As a girl that dropped out of college and was a single mum before the age of 20, I cannot express how much this means to me. The first Dr Halstead in my family. Here’s to breaking stereotypes and pushing boundaries #wecandohardthings – at Hull, England

Our paper "Crumbling cliffs and intergenerational cohesivity" is out in #GeosceinceCommunication🥂
Working with young people in Withernsea, one of the world’s fastest eroding coastlines, we developed a participatory, creative model of climate praxis

I wrote about how education, in its broadest sense, can spark a love for the planet. When we see the world with wonder, like a child does, we find hope for change.

🌿 We did a stall at Community Food Growing with @ZamMunda
People tried out CommuniMap with us and now we’ve got new records from Bellahouston Allotments! 💚
Plus: beans from Africa, yummy rice & salad, fermenting & kind people. Such a good vibe!

"We want people to have the space to challenge things"
@UofGlasgow Professor Ria Dunkley is part of the team who developed the new 'Communimap' app, to allow communities to connect with their local environment.
Get downloading communiMap!
A place to share your stories, to contribute to community science, and help raise the collective voice 🫶
The more people who use it, the more powerful that voice becomes.
Feel free to DM me if you have any queries or questions 🌱

Happy Monday! 🥳
Thrilled to share our new paper in Children’s Geographies:
“Place-based & intergenerational storytelling for youth climate action: Moving beyond participation and towards momentum” 🌍📚
Read it here: tandfonline.com/eprint/IHFXJ…
Drawing on research in Vietnam, we argue meaningful youth action requires more than participation - it requires momentum. By grounding climate stories in place and intergenerational voices, we can build emotional resonance, support agency, and sustain long-term engagement 🥳

Did you visit Windermere as a child? Maybe you grew up by the lake or holidayed there?
In partnership with @LoveWindermere

When we moved in 5 months ago we had a D rating, but with the help of a few lovely engineers, Stirling Council and Scottish government grants/loans, we now have an A.
Just in time for winter too ❄️🌱🫶
Lovely article that gives a bit of context to our Compost Co-Lab Project. Thank you Samar 🌱🫶
@Hidden_Gardens and @CommuniGALLANT are engaging with communities and supporting people to adopt sustainable practices through hands-on composting experience, helping to manage food waste and contribute to reducing the city’s carbon footprint.

Another fantastic day down at Hidden Gardens, working together to understand composting in Glasgow ✨
Today was our second Compost Co-Lab induction at @Hidden_Gardens …
We now have a team of compost analysers who will measure the health of the compost, recording it at regular intervals 🫶
Watch this space as we share our learning 🌱
#citizenscience #composting
Such a brilliant day, with such a buzz to it! Plus we got a spot in perfect view of the stage - where the Red Hot Chilli Pipers did their thing 💃🏼😝
So it begins. First up, we have @AmaliaArgelich, with her talk, “How to map vulnerability in an empowering way? A climate gentrification index
Last but not least, it’s @elliotdcfisher talking to us about participatory mapping as a tool to reveal conflicting perceptions of fire drivers in Madagascar. A great use of imagery here
