Overview

Abou the programme

Research at the Department of Human Geography at Uppsala University is characterized by considerable thematic, theoretical and methodological breadth.

We currently have four research groups or ‘clusters’, and most of the research carried out in the department falls into one of these thematic categories. Researchers at the department are typically active in more than one group.

Cross-cutting these thematic foci are both historical and contemporary perspectives and a range of theoretical and methodological specialisms, the latter including a vibrant community of scholars using GIS and advanced spatial analysis.

Programme Structure

Research groups include:

Environment and Landscapes: Interested in landscape transformation and meaning, environmental challenges, and the connections between them
Global Processes and Local Worlds: Focused on the reciprocal relations between global or transnational processes and institutions on the one hand, and locals places and actors on the other
Place and Identity: Concerned to understand the social, material and emotional contexts in which places and identities interact and shape one another
Space and Economies: Preoccupied with the spatial configurations and dynamics of economic life, and the economic nature of places and regions
