Was a pleasure to present my previous MA research into the physical and mapped waterways of Dutch colonial Cape Town as part of the Living with Water seminar series in May 2025. Big thank you to Sam, Giulia, Jack and Paola!
Touch grass, touch everything! Some speculative thinking about what a slightly dated meme phrase might tell us about our relations with the world and each other

Master thread of all our recordings. Please watch (well, listen, most of these would also work as podcasts) and share!
Huge thanks to all chairs and speakers! There were a couple of recordings that I did not share, not because we didn't have permission, but because technical issues detracted from the quality of the presentation. Apologies to those speakers

One thing I've been thinking about a lot lately, which feels related to this, is when students ask how much of their essay should be their own opinion. I feel like this question reveals how little most people grasp about what generating original ideas is like, especially in the humanities. 🧵
Meaning that Living With Water Episode 13 is Territorial Waters 1, which is a minisode as only one presenter gave permission to share their presentation youtu.be/pXqlJI0SehI
Sadly there were so many gremlins in the recording of Water Wisdom 2 that I've decided not to upload it. It was a lovely session with great presentations, but looking at them in the choppy recording we have I felt it would be a disservice to audience and speakers to upload. Apologies to all
