About
Research activities in the Centre are focused on Geographies of Citizenship and Exclusion in a range of settings across Europe, Africa, and South Asia. Within this broad field there are three main research clusters:
- Geographies of Children, Youth and Gender
- Environment and Citizenship
- Participative and Engaged Learning
Members of the group work together within and across these areas and are engaged in empirical research which aims to generate new knowledge and understanding in relation to:
- The socially and spatially uneven impacts of economic, political, cultural and social processes
- The ways in which these processes are experienced and responded to by individuals and groups
- The construction of discourses of childhood, youth and gender through economic, political, cultural and social processes
- Citizenship and participation in Western and Third World contexts
- Development and analysis of participatory research methods that involve those being 'researched' directly in the research process
There are also physical geographers at Brunel working on Environmental Change, Climate Change & Geological/Hydrological Hazards within the Institute for the Environment.
