Space, Nature and Society
In our group, we concentrate on questions and perceptions of nature and landscapes, especially those surrounding parks, biodiversity, agriculture, conservation, and climate change. We analyze the various justifications that influence negotiations over nature and landscapes, use social theory to interrogate power dynamics inherent in these, and engage various stakeholders to find creative solutions. In our blog post we explain our aims and mission.
Further foci: geographies of young people and education, migration, urban night life and teacher education
