Browse Hierarchy GEG5126: Cultural Geographies

A geographical perspective on culture emphasises the processes and politics that produce spaces, places and landscapes, and how these in turn shape different cultures. The module is interdisciplinary in scope and explores a range of cultural landscapes, grounded in walking-based explorations of East London. Key themes include: different ways of seeing the world; geographies of embodiment; and cultures of urban nature and consumption. The overarching aim is that students will be prompted to reconsider and extend their own perspectives on cultural matters as they develop knowledge, intellectual tools and practical skills for making sense of the world around them.
