I’ve been posting like mad on my tumblr site, hence the radio silence. The posts all need some editing, but there are pictures and descriptions. I’ve learned more about Egypt than i ever thought i might, just in preparing the short posts for our nieces and nephews (and other friends and families).

Four undergraduate students at the University of Washington Department of Geography have started a new journal, Plenum. The current Editorial Board, Sam Novak, Helen Olsen, Jess Wallach, and Jeevon Durkee, have worked tirelessly since last year to put this journal together, and they have put together a thoughtful, engaging, and wonderful journal of undergraduate work of geographers. They have worked with a Faculty Advisory Board consisting of Katharyne Mitchell, Vicky Lawson, Matt Sparke, Sarah Elwood, and Lucy Jarosz.
