Cultural and Historical Geography

Geographical Thought and Cartography

Research in this area addresses the cultural, political and intellectual history of geographical ideas.

It examines the disciplinary history of Geography both within and beyond the university, the role of cartography and maps in representing geographical knowledge, and the emergence of key geographical concepts which have shaped wider cultural and political life, such as internationalism.
