Coffee & Geography

Kit Marie and Jasmine Isa Qureshi share a mocha with soy milk chatting about intersectionality, poetry, life in Bristol, Taylor Swift, amongst other things!

Jasmine is a little punk storytelling powerhouse of trans brown Muslim non binary Activist know-it-all monster energy. She loves bumblebees and beetles, writes about queerness, marine mammal intelligence and love. Sometimes they dance, usually when they’ve seen a butterfly, but for other reasons too. Jasmine has chatted to drag Queens about clownfish, presented CBeebies on starfish...and now writing a book...

In this special episode, Kit Marie takes part in a day-long event for primary school pupils learning about Malawi. The conference is part of the work by the Norfolk-Dedza Schools Links (previously Norwich-Dedza Partnership).

The Norwich-Dedza Partnership was a charity that developed and supported practical links between Norwich, UK and Dedza District in central Malawi. A mutually beneficial collaboration leading to a greater appreciation of the differences and similarities in ways of life in the two areas. Projects included IT, Health, Education, Tourism, Economic Development and Community Facilities. The charity has since ceased operating, but education work continues through the volunteers and teachers in Norfolk, UK.

Kit Marie and Bob Digby sip on some and chat about social media, community through Geography, Cornwall, being a bus conductor, amongst other things.

‘Espresso’ & Geography is a podcast short where Kit Marie and a special guest talk current geographical affairs for a maximum of 15 minutes.

This shot of geography-laden caffeine is the recent news concerning the forecast for the upcoming El Niño. What is El Niño? Why should we, as geographers, pay attention to it? And what does it mean for both short-term and longer-term climate change?

Joining Kit Marie is Alistair Hamill, geography teacher and Shared-Ed champion from Northern Ireland, who was featured on the Coffee & Geography podcast in season 2.

Kit Marie and Hilary Habeck Hunt grab some peppermint tea and chat about native lands, conservation, chronic illness in academia, amongst other things.

Hilary is a PhD student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she is completing a joint degree in Geography and Environment/Resources. Before returning to the academy for a PhD, she spent nearly a decade in environmental conservation nonprofits around the U.S., including Oregon, New York, and Michigan. Due to this experience, she identifies as both practitioner and academic, and her scholarship reflects this hybridity. When not teaching, reading, or writing about land conservation and political ecology, she nerds out on Tolkien lore and tweets about chronic illness and disability in academia.
