In this episode of Geography now, Dr Janey Messina talks to us about the work that she does as a geographer in the field of health, the interdisciplinarity of geography, and how geographers can help to deal with a pandemic.
Dr Janey Messina is an Associate Professor in Quantitative Social Science Methods at the University of Oxford. She specializes in health geography, the spatial epidemiology of infectious diseases and applying GIS to public health issues.
Geography now is a new podcast series from the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG). In this series, we’ll be talking to geographers about the work that they’re doing, topics they’re passionate about, and opinions they have about the world around us.
At a time when it is impossible to host speakers at the Society, we are committed to creating content that can be accessed online, and are excited to feature individuals who would have spoken at our events around the UK.
We are excited to announce this year’s line-up for Geographical journeys: microlectures. Join us for an evening packed full of tales to inspire, as eight speakers have just 10 minutes each to share their geographical journeys in an illustrated talk.
