Contact: Dr Sydney Calkin

This module introduces students to the field of Political Geography. It explores issues of power, politics, territory, identity, and space. It does so in the context of Northern Ireland with a four-day fieldtrip to Belfast during which students will explore the political geography of the city through a range of research activities. The module consists of preparatory lectures, a pre-trip workshop, and the field class itself. Lecture material pairs key concepts with empirical applications of those concepts in the Belfast context.
