Geography serves as a crucial link connecting the social and environmental sciences. Utilizing analytical and theoretical approaches from ecology, cultural ecology, political ecology, and science studies, UNC's geography department emphasizes environmental change patterns, the political-economic construction of nature-society relationships, and socio-ecological system dynamics. Many faculty members and graduate students collaborate closely with the Carolina Population Center, while others engage in interdisciplinary work across campus with researchers in science studies, health studies, and development studies.
