I graduated from 果冻影院 Geography in 1990, worked as a Research Assistant in the Department and the Bartlett for a year, and then began my PhD, supervised by Jacquie Burgess. In 1994 I moved to Bristol to work as a Temporary Lecturer in the Department of Geography while writing up my PhD, which was awarded in 1995. I then moved to Exeter as a Tutor and then Lecturer until September 2000, when I returned to 果冻影院.听
