Research

We work at the forefront of social science and environmental research.

Collaboration

We promote engagement at the boundaries of our research areas, fostering collaboration with other subjects and sharing three common strategic aims for all our research:

To advance theory connecting areas of social justice, environmental change, security and resilience with social transformation and the interplay between environment and society.
To develop innovative methodological approaches to geographical research, underpinned by sound ethical practice.
To make evidence-based contributions to policy debates via close engagement, co-production and knowledge exchange with users.
