Cultural and historical geography

The Cultural and Historical Geography research group brings together geographers, social scientists and humanities scholars from across the University. We are united by broadly interpretative and analytical approaches to environment, landscape, science, space and place.

We are a diverse and growing community of cultural and historical geographers exploring how people, practices, and places relate. Our work encompasses historical inquiries into the archived past, interpretations of cultural landscapes, and ethnographic studies of everyday experiences. We also look at planning for low-carbon energy futures, sustainable environments and healthy communities. Whether theoretical or applied, policy-informing or practice-based, our research reflects a shared commitment to social, political and environmental engagement.  

Our research is thanks to the hard work of the people in this group. Click their names to find out more on their profile.

Research case studies

(working title)

[ In future development of the site, there will be an opportunity for each research group to have a select number (no more than 3 ) of research case studies to showcase on their page. These will be links to research case studies that are/will be in the "Featured Research" section. 

This could be research that members of your group are most proud of, feel like it reflects best on the range of research undertaken, or would be most attractive to prospective research students. ]
