Geographer in Residence

On Radio 4 this morning was a story about Alain de Botton, who is apparently going to be writer in residence at Heathrow airport.

A lot of what de Botton says about these places is packed with geographical context.

See this BBC NEWS article which gives a good flavour of the work.

Airports are known as being spaces which have weird geographical bipolarities, and where the extremes of life are

Alain de Botton's work will be turned into a book: 10 000 copies will be handed out to passengers in late September.

So how about a geographer in residence at Heathrow (or some other location ?)
