Forthcoming Publications – new page and some preprints

I’ve added a forthcoming publications page to the site, along with links to a few preprints. These are only for publications currently in production – it doesn’t include things under review or being drafted.

I’m hoping the Boko Haram paper will be up online soon, and the Axelos book should be out later this year.

Towards a reading list on the Ebola crisis – a new resource page on Progressive Geographies

I’ve put together a reading list on Ebola, specifically in relation to the West African situation in 2014. Linking does not mean I necessarily agree with the article. Additional pieces welcome – I’ve tended to avoid mainstream news stories unless they add useful maps or graphics. Academic literature on Ebola is largely out of date in relation to the recent outbreak, and/or very technical, though there are exceptions and I am sure this will change in time.

It is provided for anyone interested in learning more about this topic, and I hope it is useful. Please consider sharing if you do find it a helpful resource.
