Staff in the Centre for Spatial, Environmental and Cultural Politics (SECP) explore how environmental and social challenges are governed, represented and experienced within local, national, international and everyday cultural contexts.
Working within and across disciplines, our work examines how power relations and social differences - such as gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, nationality, age and ability - are spatially delineated and culturally and ideologically informed, affecting how we experience human and natural environments in diverse and inequitable ways. Our researchers work with academics and external partners in the UK, Austria, Germany, Afghanistan, South East Asia, Pakistan, Africa, South Africa, Thailand, Indonesia, USA and New Zealand.
