Hello! I'm a student of Human Geography at a top British university. Geography is an under-appreciated subject which brings the concept space into analysing and explaining processes. In particular, I'm particularly interested in comparisons between the US and UK on various topics (charity, policy, geographies of capitalism and the new knowledge economy). I appreciate that not everyone has access to the full level of journals and I hope to help by adding objective data to support articles when I have time.
