Today I presented at the #RGSIBG25 conference in the very first panel on asexual geographies! Such an honour to share my work alongside brilliant (and lovely!) colleagues and contribute to making space for asexuality within geography. Really excited to see what’s coming next!!! #asexualgeographies

Some good advice for #RGSIBG25 here, e.g. this tip from Nancy on networking: “Networking can feel intimidating. I’ve found that the most valuable connections often come from casual, authentic conversations, whether during coffee breaks, poster sessions, or smaller group meetups." Well said. 👏
