This field of study bridges our department's established strengths in historical geography with the emerging cross-disciplinary domain of geohumanities. The geohumanities encompass, or intersect with, contemporary advancements like historical GIS, digital humanities, spatial history, and environmental humanities.
Scholars in this research cluster are united by their focus on investigating how cultural landscapes evolve, the personal significance and feelings they evoke, and human connections to location. Researchers utilize qualitative approaches, such as archival investigations, fieldwork, and personal narratives, alongside digital techniques including historical GIS. For source analysis, faculty incorporate pertinent historical scholarship and critical theoretical frameworks.
