Researching transnationally mobile young people during the pandemic was one of the most interesting projects I've ever done. A lovely summary of some of our findings is in @TheSocReview this month.
A new article ‘Upwardly mobile: How travel became more than just a way to broaden the mind’ by our Chief Investigators Anita Harris, @ShaKRobertson & Loretta Baldassar in the youth-themed April issue of @TheSocReview Magazine. #TSRYouth

Sydney cyclists are meant to be the natural enemy of Sydney runners but all exceptions made for @DallasRogers101 + his beautiful origin story in @SydReviewBooks on finding urban geography via Western Sydney, cycling, Country + his dad.
A personal essay from me about why I love cycling. A story about how I became an urban geographer; how cycling nurtured my interest in people & place, cities & landscape, society & Country. But most importantly it's a story about my dad, Rocket Rod. https://t.co/2T0FpFi9g1

The brush turkey is lagging on votes and it's upsetting. Don't be basic and vote for tawny frogmouths + fairy wrens. One more day to get behind the true underdog, the brush turkey.
