I for one am eagerly awaiting some hot takes on Akon City from the intersection of critical urban and chronically online researchers theguardian.com/music/2023/dec…

1 is new JC Geography spec, 2 is draft spec for LC Climate Action and Sustainable Development - struggling to see how the new subject fits with the NCCA's Consultation Report and how 'LC CASD needs to ensure it has its own identity, without infringing on other disciplines' 🤷

Looking forward to this. In the absence of CIG, a great opportunity to see old friends and make some new ones (though I'm unsure if there'll be tiny pastries 🥐)

Join us in Athlone from 15-16th May for a PECN field trip. For more details and to register, click here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Issue 3 of Rundale is up 🙌

Our review of Cannibal Capitalism is out now in Rundale. Spoiler alert: we liked it 🐍 It’s a solid primer in capitalistic critique, and a useful reading list addition for anyone teaching critical political economy.

I think I’m really hitting my stride with my out of office messages these days 💅

Issue 4 of Rundale is out now - our first issue of guest writer contributions, with 3 strong pieces about the urgent need for change. Thanks a mill to all of our excellent writers for their work, and their patience as we figure out our submission process 🙏

What an amazing day for at Cork City marathon - delighted to have completed it, and big up all of the amazing Corkonians who helped me out along the way 👌 (I’ve never seen so many say “you’ve got this, girl”, and it was much appreciated!)
