Philip Crang is Professor of Cultural Geography at the Department of Geography, Royal Holloway, University of London. He is a member of the Department’s Social and Cultural Geography research group. He has research interests that intersect cultural and economic geography, especially in relation to the geography of commodity culture. Areas of concern have included: the geographies of material culture; transnational and diasporic geographies; the cultural geographies of consumption; workplace geographies; and, methodologically, the role of ethnographic research in exploring these issues. He has been principal supervisor for over twenty PhD students, from the UK and abroad, working in these and related areas. Philip also serves on the AHRC Research Panel for the Visual Arts and Media (2007-present), and formerly edited the journal Cultural Geographies (1999-2007).
