Thanks for thinking of us RGS-IBG Schools. Humbled being in the company of the others on that slide! Planning for this year's Encompass programme is well underway; activities happening in the coming weeks/months.

York St John University students, please consider putting yourself forward for this wonderful sustainability conference in March. The deadline is this Sunday, but the application process is very simple. You can offer a presentation, creative work, a poster... /1

The best kind of day. Geography at YSJU School of Humanities

It's that time of year again: year 1 students on their residential. A bit of human geography, a bit of physical geography, a bit of mapping...and maybe some games this evening for those who want to. #fieldwork #fieldtrip

Using the campus as a prompt for thinking today.

So pleased to be invited to talk a bit about how I do my bit for the environment today, as a geographer. Brief but to the point. We should all be doing what we can but convenience, time and money are all pressures on us too. Geography at YSJU #StephsPackedLunch

Lots of exciting changes for our committee members recently!

Huge congratulations to:

Dr Jamie Arathoon on their lecturer post at Geography at YSJU
Katherine Tubb on starting her PhD with WildCRU, Oxford
hannah d-c *on maternity leave* on her Simon Fellowship at Manchester Geography
