Scrivener-Latex integration 1: Setting up BibDesk
The process of getting Scrivener and my LaTeX writing set up was divided into three separate/linked sub-processes (if you like…) This article details the first, how to set up BibDesk to allow you to drag works from your bibliographic database

Zotero and LibreOffice

Maps and fear
In a spot of reading related to the courses I’ll be teaching from April I was reading the Very Short Introduction to Geopolitics (Klaus Dodds). Came across a fascinating chapter on how maps have been used to shift views of
