Biography
Harriet Hawkins is a Lecturer in Geography at Royal Holloway, University of London.
"…the book treats the limits and possibilities of creative geographies with compelling seriousness, and the scholarship is impressive throughout. The imaginative picture of ramifying art-geography entanglements established here will prove an indispensable frame of reference to those forming perspectives on the nascent field. For Creative Geographies looms large in my footnotes already."
