The rest of the family were happy to have me back, but my boy has been waiting by the door for me to come home for four days. #DogsOfMastodon #AcademicChatter

Professor of Economic Geography, University of Cambridge. My research is on labour markets, migration, urban planning, and regional policy. I'm also Fellow of Pembroke College and Chair of RSAI-BIS. My family is Cuban/German, but I was born in England and grew up in Venezuela. I love photography and baking, and have a crazy cocker spaniel called Fonzie.
This diagram is really striking and shows the crux of the matter. #Universities #UKPolitics #UKEconomy
Gin and the Foo Fighters, in the company of my dog (although he’s not their biggest fan, he prefers jazz!). Wonderful! #Glastonbury
Done our duty in the #LocalElections, still several hours to go everyone, vote if you’re able to. Don’t forget to take ID (flawed as the process is). My feeling is that #Turnout here in South East Cambs is higher than usual, not sure if that’s good or bad news. #DogsAtPollingStations #DogsOfMastodon
The look of a dog who stole the top slice of bread off my sandwich and is now too full to move. #MonDog
With my dog on a very wet and misty Ilkley Moor. Happy New Year everyone! Let’s hope it’s a good one. #DogsOfMastodon
Cooking a traditional Cuban christmas dinner this year. Making the yuca (cassava) marinade. My grandmother’s recipe: take 10 (fat) cloves of garlic! #Christmas #ChristmasDinner
Hello 👋 I’ve recently joined so this is by way of #introduction. I’m an academic working on #regional #development and #governance. I’m especially interested in #migration, #urbanplanning, #labour, and more recently #participatory democracy. I’m an #economist by training but now do mostly #interdisciplinary work with colleagues in #geography #sociology and #philosophy. My hobby is #photography especially #macro and #landscapes, although I struggle to find the time. This is my crazy #dog Fonzie!
