Human Geography

Human Geography seeks to explore the relationship between people and their communities, considering language, religion, economic and government structures, and a broad range of other cultural aspects. Through independent research, supervisory meetings, departmental seminars, conferences, and research workshops, this research program provides the opportunity to conduct an in-depth research project in an area of human geography and aims to build key skills for positions in academia, research, spatial/social planning, and development consultancy and management.

The School of Natural Sciences offers the opportunity to work at the doctoral level alongside academics whose research has been internationally recognised. Students can benefit from a supportive academic community, where ideas and experiences are shared with the aim of advancing knowledge.

Lincoln's human geographers are working on projects exploring socio-spatial inequalities; environmental history and historical geography; climate policy and politics; environmental management; governance and behaviour; health and wellbeing; colonialism and (de-)coloniality; and geospatial big data.
