Coffee & Geography 1x23 Dan Raven-Ellison (UK)

Kit talks to Dan Raven-Ellison over some Red Label tea, chatting about capturing dangerous animals, playing hide and seek, creating the Slow Ways network, amongst other things! Dan uses ‘guerrilla geography’ to challenge himself and others to think differently about the world. He does this through campaigns, collaborations, and films - ranging from founding the London National Park City to showing what the UK looks like from above in 100 seconds. Some links to things mentioned in the chat: - London National Park City (https://www.nationalparkcity.london/) - The UK in 100 Seconds (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0drvdLYGNuc) - Dan’s National Geographic Emerging Explorer profile (https://www.nationalgeographic.co.uk/travel/2019/11/meet-adventurer-daniel-raven-ellison) - Slow Ways (https://beta.slowways.org/) - UEA Project Change climate workshops (https://projectchange.uea.ac.uk) - Speciesism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciesism) Expand your Geography community by connecting with Dan via Twitter (https://twitter.com/DanRavenEllison) or visiting his website at https://ravenellison.com/ The chat was recorded on 17th August 2021. Kit's "Slow Ways" poem: Trudging onward from the node of Norwich Wymnor, Mulnor, Tavnor While Yarven strikes across the Isle of Wight Alone Browhi walks the Arran shore Be these giants of old and legend That strode and claimed terrain? No, the likes of Solhen, Shiban & Salfor Are paths across our domain BONUS AUDIO post-credits - Full poem "The Slow Ways Shout" (https://youtu.be/h55wxuwV5zM) ==About Coffee & Geography== The aim of ‘Coffee & Geography’ is to get to know, explore and celebrate the diverse & intersectional range of people and their love for the world.
