Syracuse urban geographers explore cityscapes, governance, and dynamics while connecting them to wider movements for racial and gender equity, societal fairness, and political and cultural shifts.
Employing diverse methodological and conceptual approaches, we critically examine how urban spaces and lived experiences are shaped. Linked to historical, feminist, cultural, political, and Marxist geographical traditions, our urban geography scholars focus especially on how gender, socioeconomic status, racial/ethnic identity, and faith influence the formation and evolution of urban structures and community networks.
Faculty research encompasses investigations into sacred spaces in cities, conflicts surrounding civic areas, the role of universities in Middle Eastern urban change, migration and racial dynamics in American metropolitan areas, and memorial landscapes across European urban centers.
