That's a bit rude!
Mainly because i'm interested in how spaces dictated/directed by University
powers-that-be create or manipulate the type of geographies people
undertake, learning experiences of students, understandings of the
positioning and 'nature' of geography, and so on...

In the run-up to the 'geographies of the academy' ibg sessions, i'd like to
find out colleagues experiences of the spaces they occupy, both imaginary
(spaces of organisation, marketing, publicity) in terms of where your
'geography' (or whatever) division/department/school etc etc you are
'located' in is 'placed' in your institution, and actual, in terms of your
allocation of space in that context - with whom do you share institutional
space? Are you in the 'same space' as colleagues? Are you spread across
campus? Do you share office/admin space with 'others'? What are the
processes/forces at work in shaping your use/allocation of space? How are
these resisted? What are the implications of this for your work, for the
larger whole, for your department's (etc) identity...?
Views/comments/testimonies either to me or all as usual.
