Human Geography: Society and Space MscUniversity of Bristol
- Bristol, United Kingdom
This course is globally recognised with a wealth of alumni both within academia, the public and private sector. It is a theoretically rigorous course, with a focus on the philosophical underpinnings of complex global relations and with creative qualitative research methods. The modules I undertook included Postcolonial Geographies, Experimental Research Methods, Theorising Society and Space and Affect and Biopolitics. My dissertation focussed on the burgeoning field of artistic and creative engagements with the global issue of climate change, and how creative reactions to climate change could have the potential to foster new understandings and action for change. It has made me passionate about thinking and acting for relations that could foster a more sustainable global future.
