MPhil Geography - Human Geography (Life Geographies) in Penryn United Kingdom | University of Exeter

The Life Geographies research collective unites scholars, investigators, and graduate students focused on exploring the spatial dynamics and political frameworks shaping the interplay between living organisms and physical environments, encompassing both human and non-human domains, as well as the intersections of vitality, wellbeing, illness, technological systems, and biological processes.

Our interdisciplinary approach incorporates insights from modern geography and social sciences, including Science and Technology Studies, Animal Geographies, Biopolitical Theory, Waste Studies, Embodied Space Research, Medical Geography, and Ethical Inquiry. Our research spans diverse settings - from scientific facilities to agricultural landscapes, from wilderness areas to metropolitan ecosystems, and medical institutions worldwide, with projects extending from South Asia to North America, from Australia to Northwest England.

We engage broadly with geographical scholarship and maintain strong partnerships with Exeter-based institutions such as Egenis, the Global Systems Institute (GSI), the Living Systems Institute (LSI), and the Wellcome Centre for Cultures and Environments of Health, alongside numerous international academic collaborators, to advance comprehension of how spatial dimensions influence life processes, health outcomes, material existence, and epistemic formations.
