Off to visit another new football ground today, @glencairnfc.bsky.social, which will be my 128th in Scotland. Here's some photos of visits I've made in the last week. Can you identify all four grounds though?

I'm completely flabbergasted by this nomination tbh, but feel deeply honoured that one/some of my students have nominated me for this award and that the @glasgowunisrc.bsky.social have organised all of this. Now, where is my bow tie!?

An astonishing game of football last night at @penicuikath.bsky.social v Whitburn Juniors in East of Scotland League Premier Division A penalty save & 2 goals for the home team then 3 goals by Whitburn to take the lead with 20 minutes left & then 3 more goals for Penicuik. Final score 5-3!

An early start this morning for @cihscotland.bsky.social Housing Festival in Edinburgh to meet up with colleagues, former & current students & housing professionals from across Scotland & beyond. Looking forward to hearing my @uofglasgow.bsky.social colleague Duncan Maclennan speak later today.

If you submitted an abstract for the #HSA2025 #HousingStudiesAssociation annual conference then please check your email inboxes today. The quantity of submissions has been universally excellent & we've enjoyed reviewing them this week. Can't wait to welcome delegates to the event in April!

Don't miss out! 📣 The 4th round of applications for the @uofgjmsphd.bsky.social Scholarships are open until 31 Jan 2025. 12 Scholarships are available in any research area where the University can supervise. Plus mentorship, placements, networking and much more! ➡️ www.gla.ac.uk/scholarships...

Loved doing this course earlier this year .🙂

The Ground Hop that never was. Irvine Meadow XI v West Calder was postponed 45 mins before kick-off tonight, long after I'd left home.

What a brilliant #SoTL session by @drntasler.bsky.social and @nomadwarmachine.bsky.social for Urban Studies & Social Policy colleagues today. Practical, insightful and inspirational. Many thanks. #TeamUofG

As part of my lecture for our first year undergraduate students on housing policy today, I'll be discussing my work on the Australian Housing Conditions Dataset which reveals the social gradient in exposure to unintentional injuries and social harm.

Lochee Harp v Lochee United last night in Dundee. A bitterly cold night for my 114th match of the calendar year. A convincing 0-4 win for United and my first taste of a Dundee Peabuster. Would recommend. #groundhopping #lochee #dundee #peas

My first post here. I stepped in at short notice today to write & deliver a lecture on #Squalor one of the five giants in the #BeveridgeReport. There is little mention of #housing in the report but he does have some sensible things to say about #PlanningforHousing in the Pillars of Security"
