In what must be surely the fastest turnaround from final manuscript submission to publication I will ever experience, a paper of mine has just been published in JOMEC Journal.

My Birkbeck colleague Joel McKim and I are going to be leading an ‘urban media tour’ of West End London in just over a week, on Wednesday 22 May, 2013.
