This morning, we have an update for researchers and students who want to adopt Dialogue Journaling for building knowledge ecosystems but prefer the Google Drive environment. Here is a template designed in Microsoft® WORD conforming to the layout of a WELL document. This means that when it is saved as a PDF it will display without sideways scrolling on a smartphone screen. For Google Drive and Google Doc users, though, it provides an empty template for each page of their notebook journaling. Please feel free to download a copy; then make and store copies as empty templates in the 3 sub-folders of the area you create on Google Drive for journaling. Please click on image above to view the WORD template within a Google Drive folder

Migration, trade, tourism and pilgrimage, all are forms of human movement that have existed for millennia. Yet travel is no longer what it used to be. Slow travel, flight shame, sustainable travel, eco- and anti-tourism, staycation and microadventures are but some of many recent terms testifying to a growing awareness that mobility has become inextricably intertwined with planetary concerns, regardless of whether it is the short distance of a commute to work, or that of long-distance globetrotting. With 2024 likely proving to be the hottest year on record and tourists evacuated by boat from uncontrollable forest fires on Rhodes in 2023, all the while tech billionaires promise us trips to Mars and hotels on the moon (while others perish trying to reach the Titanic), we are also told t...

I have started preparatory reading for a new place-making project; this time in Exeter, Devon UK. I’m calling it, Exeter Word Hoard .  This name is inspired by the opening line from ‘Widsith’ in The Exeter Book , (Exeter Cathedral Library, MS 3501). The first letter, 'w', for word, is an old runic letter, wynn , which looks like this:  word hord  written in Old English The WhatsApp Well I plan to use what I’ve learnt from my WhatsApp work on Ouistreham ( see older posts here if interested ). The project will have a webpage on my research website on Google Sites, with an open link to finished PDFs and live WORD documents that are still in the Dialogue Journaling phase. I’ll be using the WELL format for the documents so that they display well on smartphones directly from the archive or WhatsApp E-Library Locker.
