Lazy Sunday Service

Every Friday and/or Saturday for the past six weeks I've either presented a paper at an event or organised a conference.  It's been quite a diverse set of talks: transforming the crisis (Cork); mapping humans (Oxford); the science behind urban development (Vienna); housing and planning (Athlone); the US election (Maynooth) and mapping Ireland (Tallagh).  Thankfully, I'm getting my weekends back for the foreseeable future.  I also don't have another public talk in the diary until the new year (I was meant to be going to Malaysia and Singapore in two weeks time, but other matters intervened).  Instead I can hopefully crack on with the new (academic) book, which is progressing, but more slowly than I hoped.
