EUROPEAN MOBILITY WEEK starts today! The CONUNDRUM Research Project team is delighted to launch our TownsMatter platform as part of our @researchireland.ie National Challenge Fund project.

Well done Brian! Great to see this important topic getting national coverage. If we want to see real change in Ireland then it’s essential that communities from rural areas and towns are not left behind in the move towards sustainable futures.

Never has a transport project in Ireland been as analysed, appraised, criticised and debated as much as this... my contribution to @rtebrainstorm.bsky.social this morning www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2...

Niamh and I had a great day filming last week for the @conundrumsfi.bsky.social project -despite my discomfort at being in front of the camera! Public dissemination of research is so important & we were delighted to be able to include some key community stakeholders in filming too! Watch this space!

Ready - and excited - for the @ucdearth.bsky.social 3-day writing retreat! Thanks to Dara and Jon for organising. A productive few days ahead (…hopefully)!

We had a great few days in Youghal running community mapping workshops with diverse stakeholders. Great to be scaling our project to new case studies!

CONUNDRUM was also busy in the community this week. @deanphelan.bsky.social, @briancaulfield.bsky.social and Kieran Harrahill led a workshop with local stakeholders in Enniscorthy to consider an online platform to map their mobility @researchireland.ie #NationalChallengeFund #NextGenerationEU

Day 2 of our #UCDGeography International Urban Fieldwork in London was a success. Students considered London’s built environment & urban development as connected to the broader ecosystem. Thanks @futcherfu.bsky.social for a fascinating walking tour & to the NLA for a presentation of their models.

Great 1st day to our International Urban Fieldwork trip to London. #UCDGeography students doing our school proud. Today’s focus: Power in the City. We explored how historical power and colonial processes continue to shape the city & how social identity & difference is performed in Chinatown and Soho

Seeing the proliferation of far-right candidates contesting seats in the upcoming Irish General Election is despairing. My colleague Páraic and I wrote this paper about far-right geopolitical imaginaries in the 2020 General Election; sad to see how widespread these imaginaries are now bit.ly/44ZsRKY
