Guitars are now the world's most popular musical instrument and an aficionado can tell you precisely when and where their favourite instrument was made, the wood that it's made from, and how that wood affects the sound of the instrument. So what happens when two human geographers decide to follow that fascination around the globe and trace guitars all the way back to the tree? In this Entanglements lecture series recorded live at the Wollongong Art Gallery, Professor Chris Gibson and Dr Andrew Warren from ACCESS at UOW talk about their 6 year research quest to follow the instrument from the forests, timber mills, to the factories where guitars are made and how they discovered a story of highly skilled guitar makers set against a backdrop of natural resource exploitation and conservation.

In this special episode recorded live at the Geographers Declare Symposium, hosted by UOW's ACCESS and the Geographical Society of NSW, Geographers from around Australia gathered to discuss how they would or should declare a ‘Climate Emergency'.The longevity and severity of the bushfires along Australia's east coast this Summer prompted many local governments, industries, organisations, peak bodies and academics to declare a climate emergency and pledged to reduce their own emissions. Climate scientists, engineers, architects, planners, medical professionals, lawyers, religious groups, small business and the arts have already declared, but not yet Geographers. This symposium brought together a panel of experts from around Australia to discuss how Geographers, who habitually research and teach about climate change, social and environmental justice, should best declare a ‘Climate Emergency'. Speakers include: Carrie Wilkinson PhD Candidate with University of Wollongong's, School of Geography and Sustainable Communities, Dr Susannah Clement an early career feminist geographer, Professor Pauline McGuirk Director of University of Wollongong ACCESS (Australian Centre for Culture, Environment, Society and Space), Rosie Goslett-King Coordinator of the Women Rangers Environmental Network (WREN) at World Wildlife Fund, Professor Richie Howitt at Macquarie University, Tim Wall UOW Geography honours student, Associate Professor Lauren Rickards at RMIT University, Associate Professor Fiona Miller at Macquarie University, Madeleine Bretag Geography teacher at Trangie Central School and Dr Blanche Verlie a postdoctoral fellow at the Sydney Environment Institute.

Forming and managing work partnerships will likely be one of the most critical parts of your career. No matter the industry, it's probable that you, your team and your business will need to collaborate with another party at some point and for some business critical reason. I've put this Quick Take episode together to share some insights and advice about the importance of prioritising a mutually beneficial and 2-way relationship when you’re crafting partnerships.I’ve selected audio from my interviews with marketing experts Blandine Jean Paul and Neil Ridgway, from episodes number 24 and number 2 respectively, and I think their advice really emphasis the importance of working collectively with your desired partner to get the best outcome for both your business and theirs. It’s easy to get caught up in what you want and what you need, but we all know that the best relationships are built on collaboration, and built with understanding, trust and respect.

After three years of junior soccer Cath Lear had to stop playing due to girls not being allowed to play the sport past the age of 12.Prior to talking to Cath about her move into senior soccer we talked about Cath’s other involvement in our sport with her Grandfather Peter Bannister. “Banno” as he was known, is a legend in Illawarra Soccer with Coniston as a player and for his lengthy time at University of Wollongong SC (where he wore many hats). In her teenage years Cath had a lot of involvement with her Grandfather helping him out at the University of Wollongong SC.In the mid 1990s Cath joined the senior ranks when she signed with South Coast United where she developed her football, friendships and a rivalry with Oak Flats.After 4 seasons with South Coast United Cath moved to the Wollongong Wolves in 1999 to play state league football and challenge herself as a footballer.Concurrently around this time Cath was at the University of Wollongong where she was studying for a teaching degree. Cath successfully represented the UOW at the University games playing football.
