I returned to Durham University's Geography Department in October 2011, having left it in 1983. My previous appointments have been at Exeter (1983-84), Newcastle-upon-Tyne (1984-1990), and Sheffield (1990-2011). I am currently the Department's Director of Research and I am on the module teaching teams for Introduction to Geographical Research (GEO1222) and Social and Cultural Geographies (GEO2561).
