Research

Social and Cultural Geography at Royal Holloway emphasises the cultural politics of place, space and landscape. Within SCG, these concerns are being explored through a wide range of conceptual and substantive lenses, including:

• colonial and postcolonial geographies
• cultures of mobility, exploration and travel
•  diaspora culture and transnationality
• cities, identities, and urban politics
• geography's visual and material cultures
• consumer and commodity cultures
• the politics of geographical knowledge
• cultures of landscape and environment

Methodologically, group members have expertise in a range of research practices, especially interpretative methods, ethnographic research, archival work and other forms of qualitative social and cultural research.
