An Introduction

Hello there,

My name is Karan and I am very excited to join the Boundless team as Deputy Editor, and I look forward to helping this publication develop into an enjoyable and engaging read for people from all areas of academia. As a first year student on the joint honours Geography and Economics programme, my main interests are to do with issues that are prominent in the world economy such as development and globalisation, though given the multi-disciplinary nature of Geography my curiosities extend over many different fields.

Feedback and constructive criticism is essential for any endeavour, so if you have any ideas or thoughts please don’t hesitate to contact myself (karan.singh.11@ucl.ac.uk) or Reece (reece.harris.11@ucl.ac.uk).

Regards,

Boundless Online Publication

Hello everyone,

This is a test site for the new geography themed multi-disciplinary publication, which I have decided to call Boundless (thanks to Hannah for the suggestions that led me to this name). The name came along and so I set this up to start to make this publication into a reality. Hope you like the name :)

For those of you who don't know, Boundless is intended to be a multi-disciplinary online publication that revolves around geographical themes, such as space, place, connection etc. It will be open for students in any discipline to write for. It is my hope that this will make it a highly informative and diverse publication, yet one which promotes the benefits of thinking geographically. I hope it will be used for people to explore topics and issues within their disciplines and bring them to readers through geographical or international themes. As I am from UCL, 'London's Global University', I think it would be ideal to have a publication that reflected the true global nature of the work done in universities across the country and the world.

Please feel free to send me messages on Facebook with ideas for the site- I will be dedicating a fair amount of time after the 22nd May (last exam) to Boundless.

Please remember this is a test site. It is likely the actual site will be set up over the summer. Any suggestions you have I will try to add to this blog in order to get a picture of what the final site will look like. This is likely  to be the only effort I put into Boundless for a couple of weeks, however, as I have five exams for which to revise!

In addition if Karan and Jorge could get back to me confirming that they are still interested in being deputy editors (Jorge in particular). Please contact me on the email address below if you are willing to get more involved next year in helping to run the publication, particularly if you are good at setting up and maintaining websites.

Also if you are interested in writing and have not yet contacted me, please send me an email at reece.harris.11@ucl.ac.uk. 

Also I'd like to thank everyone for their support in the past couple of months, and for the excellent advice.

Thanks for reading,
