BSc in Geography - Cities, Development and Justice in Bloomington United States | Indiana University Bloomington

The Cities, Development, and Justice (CDJ) specialization explores pressing contemporary issues through the lens of spatial and societal relationships. It investigates how environmental factors intersect with economic expansion, historical transformations, and current political dynamics. This broad geographical scope covers global urban growth, unequal regional development, environmental equity, activist networks, racial geographies, socio-environmental knowledge systems, infrastructure governance, human mobility, displaced populations, relief efforts, and development geopolitics. CDJ's research objectives focus on three key areas: establishing frameworks for empirical data gathering, advancing theoretical and methodological discussions in urban and development geography, and conducting studies that can drive meaningful progress in social and environmental equity.
