Blog of blogs 2018

2018 has been another busy year in the School of Geography, and to round up the year and give you an idea of what we do, we have put together a collection of blogs relating to research from the School, which we hope you will enjoy.

We would also like to wish you a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year from all the staff in the School of Geography.

See links to Pietro Piana latest blog on the project website; it describes Pietro’s last field survey in the Alps around Turin, which is one of our case studies https://topographicalart.wordpress.com/2018/12/06/in-the-valleys-of-turin-historical-and-current-landscapes-of-the-cottian-alps/  
The website shows to the public the results of our three year project ‘British amateur topographical art and landscape in Northwestern Italy, 1835-1915’. This is a Leverhulme funded project directed by Professor Charles Watkins and co-directed by Dr Ross Balzaretti (History.) Pietro is the project research fellow.

Here is a piece Thom Davies wrote for the Antipode Foundation blog, based on research he is doing with refugees trapped in the Balkans: https://antipodefoundation.org/2018/10/30/the-violent-reality-of-the-eu-border-police-brutality-in-the-balkans/

It was also published in OpenDemocracy here.

Sarah Hall has written for the LSE British Politics and Policy blog. It examines how an economic geography perspective might be helpful when thinking about Brexit.
