The Master's programme in Human Geography addresses the relationship between human activities and their spatial environment in a number of topical fields. It takes a critical, emancipatory approach to the field by engaging with the less privileged in society, but also trying to contribute to positive change and development in many different fields. Within the Master's Human Geography, you have a choice between four important Master's specialisations, as well as the option to add to this with an Educational Master.
The Master's programme in Human Geography addresses the relationship between human activities and their spatial environment in a number of topical fields.
* Conflict, Territori...
In this Master's you will study national and international conflict, and the territorial boundaries and borders in the minds of the people involved.
How do we make sense of conflict and in/security? What are the causes that spark violence and war? And how are war, terrorism and in/security framed and what shapes do they take in practice at local, regional, national and international levels? How do territorial and identity issues shape and are shaped by conflict, violence and insecurity?
How can violent conflicts be analysed and addressed? This is a recurring question, particularly given the ongoing violence in countries like DR Congo and Afghanistan, and the outbursts of civil war in Iraq and Ukraine more recently. In this Master's you will study national and international conflict, and the territorial boundaries and borders in the minds of the people involved. You will also become familiar with the theory and practice of those organisations, such as NGOs and the UN, who intervene in violent conflict and its aftermath, as well as the efforts by local actors to transform and resolve conflict.
The Master's in Conflict, Territories and Identities is a specialisation of the Master's programme in Human Geography in collaboration with the Centre for International Conflict Analysis & Management.
Aided by rapid globalisation and technological advancement, capitalism has become the predominant and taken for granted mode of economic organisation around the world. While it has produced progress and prosperity for some people and places, this has been achieved through the exploitation and impoverishment of others.
We explore the key challenges produced by contemporary capitalism: stagnant economic growth; rising debt; geographical inequalities; housing, labour, and resource scarcity; and climate crisis.
In this Master’s specialisation, we tackle some key questions that get to the heart of these challenges: are rising debts, geographical inequalities, housing, labour, and resource shortages, or climate change endemic to capitalism? How do these challenges have uneven impacts, especially on racialised and colonised peoples and the places they inhabit? And finally, how can we tackle these challenges – both on a local and global scale – through radical policy interventions, promoting forms of sustainable, ethical enterprise, grassroots initiatives and resistance, and re-imagining dramatically different ways of organising society.
In this specialisation, we explore how cities are represented, contested and experienced by a wide array of urban dwellers.
You will learn how to think about city life and urban inequalities from different scales and perspectives; from the edge to the core, and with urban theory and (creative) methodologies.
Cities are the vibrant and dynamic focal points of today's society. The specific cultural and social context of city life as well as their unique morphology and materiality make cities special places. In modern metropolis the interference of different urban groups is unavoidable as they all claim and identify the same urban space. This can lead to conflicts but can also be the source of social mobility, innovation and cultural creativity. In the Master's specialisation in Cities, Culture and Inequality you'll study how different actors influence the physical form of cities but also the way in which they present and understand the character and identity of cities, and how they make use of the typical urban environment in their daily activities. Together residents, commuters, tourists, businesses and municipalities create and make cities.
The Master's in Cities, Culture and Inequality is a specialisation of the Master's programme in Human Geography.
In this specialisation we explore the influence of geopolitics and persistence of global injustices for present day human mobility across the globe.
This implies paying attention to processes of colonial and post-colonial arrangements around borders, it calls for a comprehensive epistemology of the impact which policy has on mobility perspectives, and it requires critical empirical approaches to these dynamics that take all actors, migrants included, on board.
You will gain much in-demand expertise on border policies, identities and shifting global mobilities, issues that are dominating the agenda of many governments, return in the interventions of NGO’s, the transnational operations of businesses, and in the narratives of (social) media.
Furthermore:
* You will receive first-hand insights and guidance from experts in the field.
* You will be stimulated to develop your own views, research, and findings, to prepare you for your own future after your studies.
The Master's in Borders, Migration and Justice is a specialisation of the Master's programme in Human Geography.
