Overview

Collectively, HGRG researchers have sought to explore the workings of power in its myriad forms and the different places through which it flows.

Features

In the Human Geography program from University of Glasgow, we engage with differing critical theories of feminism, postcolonialism, posthumanism, post-structuralism, political economy and historiography, enabling work that asks significant questions about the configuration of contemporary geographies, or that shapes knowledge of past communities and environments.

Programme structure

Curriculum:

The HGRG is committed to engaging with local communities and broader publics, and to forging transnational solidarities between the Global North and South.
Our research practice, whether operating through sustained fieldwork or deskwork, enables progressive forms of activism and intervention in daily struggles and public campaigns.
Our critical analysis is designed to speak back constructively to user-groups, and differing policy fields (urban, alternative economic and health). Our commitment to creatively, engaging research takes shape through collaborations with artists, composers, and curators in exhibition settings, public spaces and contested landscapes.
