Cultural and Historical Geography

Landscape and Culture

The School of Geography at Nottingham was one of the foundation sites of the "new cultural geography" of the 1980-90s and it continues to pioneer new ways of investigating how landscapes are inhabited, imagined and represented.

This scholarship ranges from artistic depictions of lost landscapes to recent efforts to confront environmental change in the Anthropocene.
