Course content and focus areas
- Housing Research: What are the demands placed on housing as a site of social reproduction, a basic need, and an investment object, and how are the resulting conflicts negotiated politically?
- Mobility Research: What are the social, political, and infrastructural conditions for a sustainable transformation of traffic and mobility?
- Geographies of Economization: What spatial differences are created by economic activities, and how do markets shape our ways of living together?
- Geographies of Human-Nature Relationships: How can human and non-human horizons be connected to develop shared living spaces in a sustainable and equitable way?
- Digital Geographies: How do digital technologies and platforms influence our understanding of space, work, culture, and politics?
The exploration of geographic research fields is closely tied to the development of conceptual approaches. In addition to applying qualitative methods such as interviews or ethnographic fieldwork, students can also deepen their knowledge of quantitative approaches, including statistical processes or geographic information systems, during their course of study.
