Cultural Geography

The Master in Cultural Geography programme is designed to educate students on the significant impact of individuals' everyday experiences and how their identities shape and are shaped by their living environments.

You will explore how global forces, such as globalization and gendered or racialized relations, influence cultural practices and everyday life. By examining these dynamics, you will discover how they impact tourism and climate challenges. With these insights, you will be ready to contribute meaningfully to discussions about the liveability of places and people’s attachment to their environments.

Our programme is intentionally place-based, people-centered, and community-oriented, offering a unique perspective that combines local insights with global contexts. Prepare to tackle complex cultural and environmental issues in an interconnected world.

This programme grounds your preparation in the dynamic field of cultural geography while giving you the chance to specialize in one of two cutting-edge, interdisciplinary sub-themes, that is Sustainable Tourism & Society and Climate Adaptation Governance.

Onderzoek
The research component of the programme is centered around the integration of three dynamic pillars: Cultural Geography, Sustainable Tourism & Society, and Climate Adaptation Governance. This unique approach provides a comprehensive framework for understanding complex global issues.

  • The Cultural Geography pillar delves into critical themes such as migration, gender, and identity formation, examining how these factors shape and are shaped by cultural landscapes;

  • The Sustainable Tourism & Society pillar offers a rich array of research opportunities, including the impact of tourism on the liveability of places, the nuances of rural and dark tourism, and the intricate relationship between identity creation and tourism;

  • The Climate Adaptation Governance pillar explores pressing research areas like green gentrification, farmers' protests, and climate anxiety, focusing on how governance strategies can effectively address these challenges.

Additionally, the programme encourages innovative research at the intersection of these three pillars, such as pro-environmental tourism, gender dynamics in tourism, and strategies for effective climate adaptation.
