Very pleased to share that I’ve passed my PhD viva. Many people to thank for getting me here but foremost among them my supervisors @RachelAldred Tom Cohen, @jamiewfurlong and @andrewsmithwest I could not have asked for more supportive and knowledgeable colleagues!
Many congratulations to @active_ata researcher @asathomas who passed his PhD viva with flying colours this week! Asa's also published his School Streets research at crossriverpartnership.org/wp… & sciencedirect.com/science/ar…. And many thanks to examiners @alisonstenning & @papa_enrica :)

A great thread of some of the work going on at the ATA this year. Check out the rad work of my colleagues.
A thread with a few of the highlights from a year of @Active_ATA colleagues' activity :) First up, the paper led by @asathomas with me & @jamiewfurlong on 'Equity in temporary street closures: The case of London’s Covid-19 School Streets schemes' - sciencedirect.com/science/ar… (1/15)

Very glad to say that @jamiewfurlong and @RachelAldred and I have a new paper out that assesses whether the distribution of School Streets in London is equitable. Our approach considers deprivation and ethnicity as well as air quality and car dominance. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

By ameliorating air pollution and supporting children and carers’ active mobilities, School Streets can reduce existing transport and health inequities. But they'll do so much better if they they are fairly distributed.

Many thanks to colleagues at @sustrans and @MumsForLungs for keeping track of all the School Streets in the city so this kind of analysis is possible. As well as @Active_ATA and @CrossRiverPship for supporting the research.

Essentially some interesting questions remain about the level of traffic at which people perceive a road to be a shared space, especially with small children. One for the next project!

Anyways, lots more in there. Many thanks to colleagues at Cross River Partnership, Hackney Council, and of course the ATA for help and support with this project.
