GEG5152 & GEG6152 - Belfast: Political Geography in the Post Conflict City 2024/25

This module introduces students to the field of Political Geography. It explores issues of power, politics, territory, identity, and space. It does so in the context of Northern Ireland with a four-day fieldtrip to Belfast during which students will explore the political geography of the city through a range of research activities. The module consists of preparatory lectures, a pre-trip workshop, and the field class itself. Lecture material pairs key concepts with empirical applications of those concepts in the Belfast context.
