Power, Space, Politics
Geography at Newcastle University has a particular research strength examining the expression of political power across space. We do this at a range of scales, from the international and national to the individual, and with reference to a range of global contexts. Our explorations of power, space and politics range from group and individual negotiations of identity and political action, to the lived experiences of political transformation. Our work is methodologically innovative, and we draw on ethnographic, discourse analytic, participatory and visual methodologies which enable grounded, empirically-informed reflections on the multiple ways in which concepts of power, space and politics intersect. We share and make explicit through our work a desire to produce cutting-edge research which has utility for policy and user communities.
