🌍 In honor of the anniversary of the U.S. Immigration Act, we're showcasing films that provide a personal perspective on migrants, refugees and displaced persons around the world. Our teaching materials for these films are designed to support students in practicing compassion and humility and making meaningful attempts to understand why refugees flee their homes, what their lives are like, and how everyday people can get involved to help. For grades 4-12.

Hi @mfi, I just did a search for #HumanGeography and your introduction was one of the few posts I found. Any recommendations on accounts/ servers to dig into for human geography insights?

I'm particularly intrigued by the idea of the net as a "place", or online spaces as "places", in the way that term is used as an analytical frame within human geography. Also the degree to which a digital human geography might overlap with a digital anthropology, and what distinguishes these approaches.
