Geopolitics, Environment and Development (GED) Research Group

Description

The Geopolitics, Environment and Development (GED) Research Group brings together researchers working at the intersections of political, environmental and development geography. Our research explores how relations of power shape societies, environments and places, and how global processes of social, political and environmental change are experienced, contested and transformed.

Based in the Department of Geography, GED combines critical geographical scholarship with interdisciplinary collaboration. Our members investigate some of the most pressing challenges of the contemporary world, from climate change, environmental degradation and resource extraction to inequality, migration, urban transformation and the changing geographies of political and economic power.

Our research spans the Global North and Global South, connecting detailed empirical research with wider questions about the structures and processes shaping our world. We draw on a broad range of qualitative, quantitative, participatory and creative methods, working with communities, policymakers, civil society organisations and academic partners internationally.
