Biography
BA (Cantab), MA (Sheffield)
- Programme Director Geography with International Study
- Chair International Cartographic Association Maps and Society Research Commission 2007-2015.
I have taught and researched in Geography in Manchester since 1998, having previously run the university map libraries. My interests lie at the interface between mapping technologies and social and cultural practices, with ongoing research into performative aspects of contemporary mapping behaviour and play, alongside an emerging interest in island studies. These interests are reflected in eleven edited and authored books and numerous academic articles and in my teaching with courses currently focusing on Visual Studies, and Islands. In addition I lead a Second Year Field Course to Crete.
