Lovely to see this pre-covid collaboration with @LouisaESmith1, @LynPhillipson and Isabelle Chesher through to a paper. In this project we sought to bring two @UOWGC-funded projects together: Connections for Life with Dementia and Future Makers. cambridge.org/core/journals/…

The paper brings themes of home and embodiment together with research on dementia and care, using body-mapping as a methodology. I learnt a lot working with @LouisaESmith1, and hope it goes some way to extending conversations on home and care for people living with dementia.

Thanks for being there Sue, research support and mentoring through @UOWASSH and @ACCESS_GEOG is invaluable - a gaggle of social sciences #DECRA and #FutureFellows are proof of that!

Looking forward to sharing some early thoughts on my research with Illawarra coal workers on Wednesday. There's a lot to unpack, some difficult conversations to be had, and it's unsurprising that... Place Matters! All welcome 😀
For the final presentation in our @ACCESS_GEOG autumn seminar series we invite Dr Chantel Carr (@lifeofstuff) an ARC DECRA Fellow! All welcome to attend online or F2F - see details below: @uowresearch @UOWASSH @UOW_VC

Loving the energy efficiency in the budget but can we look beyond the eco-bling to the basics? Running heat pumps on solar is great once you've got a nice, unleaky building envelope. Insulation and draught-proofing isn't as cool, but it'll keep us warmer! theguardian.com/australia-ne…

Just received a sales call from an engineered stone manufacturer… ‘just wondered if you had any enquiries’. I haven’t worked in architecture practice since 2013. Guess sales have slowed down lately… good work @unionsaustralia

Leaving a thoughtful, insightful fieldwork interview feeling like I’m getting somewhere, then arriving home to realise I completely missed parent-teacher interviews 🤦🏽‍♀️

It was also a delight to be in dialogue with @SmithTGeo, whose work on care, degrowth and postcapitalist possibilities is always thoughtful and hopeful. I don't think I got there on transformative possibilities but will keep trying! journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful… 5/6

And finally, there is also a commentary by Stefania Barca coming soon. Stefania brings some much-needed analytical nuance to the repair scholarship - an important contribution in a burgeoning field! Will link when it's out.
