Coffee & Geography S03E01 Dan Hall (UK)

Kit Marie and Dan Hall chat over a mug of PG Tips about Oxford, mobile food vans, outer space & sci-fi geography, sustainability in football, amongst other things!Dan is someone who never considered he would be describing himself as a proud geography nerd - yet now spends most of his time telling anyone who will listen about the virtues of geography. He did his undergraduate degree in Geography at the University of Oxford before a Masters in Environment, Politics & Society at UCL (University College London). He then returned to Oxford's School of Geography and the Environment as their first access and outreach officer, with the remit of encouraging as many young people as possible to consider both at Oxford and in general. He is a huge football fan who also channels his passion for the beautiful game and environmentalism into his voluntary work for the non-profit Football For Future.Some links to things mentioned in the chat:#-   Geographies of Outer Space by Julie Klinger (https://www.academia.edu/52636515/Geographies_of_outer_space) -   Intersellar (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstellar_(film))-   WALL-E (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WALL-E)-   Football For Future (https://footballforfuture.org/) -   Forest Green Rovers new eco stadium (https://www.fgr.co.uk/eco-park) -   Sending Qatar 2022 match balls into space (https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/qatar-world-cup-soccer-balls-spacex-rocket)-   Development Stats World Cup Excel Interactive (https://geogramblings.com/2022/12/09/qatar-2022-controversial-geographies-and-data/)Expand your geography network and connect with Dan by email at [email protected], and via Twitter at https://twitter.com/Dan_Hall97.==About Coffee & Geography==The aim of ‘Coffee & Geography’ is to get to know, explore and celebrate the diverse & intersectional range of people and their love for the world.
