About me
I am the Professional Officer in the Research and Higher Education Division of the Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers). I work with the geographical higher education community on a range of projects and activities, including the Society's annual international conference in August each year.

My own academic research interests lie in the area of feminist historical geography (my PhD thesis was on women's family and social networks of wealth holding), and historical geographies of new urban settings, particularly New Zealand in the nineteenth century. I also occasionally help to develop historical geography teaching resources for undergraduate students. I also hold a soft spot for software development projects and keep up my qualifications in IT project management in case I might return to it at some point in the future. I don't have nearly enough time to indulge myself in exploring ways that digital technologies can be incorporated into teaching and scholarship, especially digital humanities.

I'm a New Zealander who has lived in London for 11 years. I think that makes me a Londoner now.

I'm just starting out with Wikipedia - long-time user/lurker, first-time editor.
