I want to send love out to all of our Muslim LFC fans and to show solidarity with our beautiful Muslim communities across Liverpool & beyond. We see you & want to acknowledge how this Islamophobic rhetoric must affect you.

This matters - students who feel they belong are less likely to feel lonely and more likely to complete their course.

Lovely to meet our future @The_GA president Denise Freeman @geography_DAF in the YHA kitchen - both happy after good day of fieldwork - and glad you tweeted the picture of Kermit rather than us in our aprons!
Great to meet @PhillipsSpace in the kitchen of the Glasgow YHA, with @thisis_holly, both cooking rice for our students, after a good day of fieldwork. A true confluence of geographers.
