This research focus 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 field share a dedication to investigating how cultural landscapes evolve, the personal significance and feelings they evoke, and individual reactions to locations. Researchers utilize qualitative approaches, including archival investigations, fieldwork, and personal narratives, alongside modern digital techniques such as historical GIS. For source interpretation, scholars reference pertinent historical scholarship and critical social frameworks.
Current faculty projects in this area involve mapping Haudenosaunee perspectives on Onondaga Lake through spatial history, analyzing digital content from U.S. climate activists, exploring debates around Turkish memorials, and revealing diverse French conceptions of place and heritage.
