The identification in political and corporate circles of business education as a means of (re)producing highly skilled economic elites has been reflected by growing academic interest in the sector. However, this research predominately studies busines... Read More about Ecologies of business education and the geographies of knowledge.

This paper examines the role of elite women in estate management, enclosure and landscape improvement in eighteenth-century England, a topic which has to date received little in the way of sustained academic consideration. The paper focuses on four w... Read More about Women, enclosure and estate improvement in eighteenth-century Northamptonshire.

Of scales, networks and assemblages: the League of Nations apparatus and the scalar sovereignty of the Government of India (2009)
Journal Article
Legg, S. (2009). Of scales, networks and assemblages: the League of Nations apparatus and the scalar sovereignty of the Government of India. Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, 34(2), https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1475-5661.2009.00338.x

Whilst greatly valuing recent critiques of the vertical imaginary and reified ontology of scale theory, and of the unfettered flows of network theory, this paper argues against a human geography without scale. Rather, four propositions from the theor... Read More about Of scales, networks and assemblages: the League of Nations apparatus and the scalar sovereignty of the Government of India.

Geochemical analyses (x-ray fluorescence, δ13C and C/N ratios) were used to reconstruct early Holocene environments (between 10685 and 7260 cal. yr BP) at a small lake near Holebudalen, southern Norway. Results show a period of increasing stability,...

Reconstructing hydrological variability in Lake Baikal during MIS 11: An application of oxygen isotope analysis of diatom silica (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mackay, A. W., Karabanov, E., Leng, M. J., Sloane, H. J., Morley, D. W., Panizzo, V. N., Khursevich, G., & Williams, D. (2007, April). Reconstructing hydrological variability in Lake Baikal during MIS 11: An application of oxygen isotope analysis of diatom silica. Presented at Isotopes in Biogenic Silica (IBiS), Nottingham, UK

In this paper we reconstruct hydrological variability in Lake Baikal during Marine Isotope Stage 11 (MIS 11) (427-362 ka BP) from oxygen isotope analysis of diatom silica. Highest δ18Odiatom values are found during MIS 11.3, highlighting the dominanc...
