Course summary

The Life Geographies research group brings together academics, researchers and postgraduate students interested in advancing our understanding of the geographies and politics that define, and result from, the interaction of living and material systems, of human and non-human worlds, of life, health, disease and welfare, of technologies and biologies.We draw upon a number of fields of contemporary geography and social science including Science and Technology Studies, Animal Geographies, Biopolitics, Discard Studies, Geographies of Embodiment, Health and Disease Studies, and Ethics. Our work takes us to laboratories, to fields and farms, to forests and woodlands, to urban natures, hospitals and clinics from Bangladesh to Brooklyn, from Melbourne to Manchester.We work widely across the discipline of geography and actively collaborate with Exeter colleagues in Egenis, the Global Systems Institute (GSI), the Living Systems Institute (LSI), the Wellcome Centre for Cultures and Environments of Health as well as with many other universities and research centres across the globe, to progress understanding of the spatialities of life, health, materiality, and knowledge.
