A few months ago, I attended a training course for Rayburn Tours' Field Studies Tutors. As part of the course we had a session with Dr. Rhian Meara. She had just published her work on the legacy of the eruptions on Heimaey. An eruption on the island in 1973 led to the evacuation of its population. Many of them moved to Grindavik. Time for Geography had worked with Rhian and Rayburn to produce some new resources telling this compelling story, and they are now starting to be available.

“The Civil War in Kentucky” is a 10-part series recently published in my Journey Log entitled “Surrounding Fort Knox, including Southern Indiana.” It deals primarily with the Central Kentucky Theater. I present it here as a series of individual blogs for my readers. Links to the previously published chapters will be provided at the end of each blog.

I came across this project via a potato farmer account - as you do. Place, Community and Connection in the Fens. It's an Open University research project which has been interviewing people living in the Fens. Dr. Dan Taylor is leading the research. To get a deeper understanding of place, infrastructure and community here, we’d like to talk with as many people living in Wisbech, Boston and Peterborough as we can.

A cross-posting from my 'At the Home of Geography' blog which covers my work as Vice President of the Royal Geographical Society. There is an opportunity for those looking for a PhD opening to engage with the RGS Collections. This is a very exciting opportunity for someone. I have already blogged about the first one - which features work on the Doreen Massey archive.
