Geographies of Nature: food, animals and other nonhuman life
This is a Module not about learning new facts or figures, or necessarily huge swathes of substantive knowledge about food consumption and food production (a dominant theme). Rather it invites you to develop a repertoire of theories and concepts to think critically about your own ideas, practices in relation to environmental citizenship, what you eat, how you relate to the natural world, who we are as humans in what has been named as the ‘anthropocene’ and the era of the ‘post-human’. These different areas of interest are connected by how they position societies relationship to, the naming of and production of what is unproblematically often called ‘nature, Nature or natural’. -

Geographies of Risk
The module will explore risk, hazard, exposure, vulnerability, resilience, and sustainability, all in the context of climate change: how these concepts relate to the Earth's physical and ecological systems, and to cultural and socio-economic structures of different societies.
Case studies, presented by experts in their fields of human and physical geography, will illustrate how understanding interactions and feedbacks between human and physical systems might help societies mitigate and/or adapt to environmental hazard and risks of this dangerous world. -

Geographies of Wellbeing, Inequality and Place
In contemporary neoliberal societies individuals are increasingly positioned as responsible for their own wellbeing. In the first half of this module we look at how health and wellbeing are often reduced down to a lifestyle choice. But is health and wellbeing about personal choice, or does the state have a role to play in ensuring citizens can flourish? The second half of the module introduces some of the ways in which geographers have sought to analyse health inequalities. How does place matter for health and wellbeing? Why is health unequal across space, and how do we explain these inequalities? Working across different scales (from the local to the global), the module covers important contemporary case studies: such as humanitarianism and the refugee crisis, food poverty, environmental racism, and housing insecurity. -
