Description of the research topic:
Remarkable social, economic, and political changes at the global scale have resulted in the last decades in massively increasing academic interest in spatial disparities. A great number of new issues have emerged, which opened the floor in human geography to intensifying utilisation of research results and methods from other disciplines. More attention is paid to investigating the geographical and historical context of contemporary inequalities, processes at various geographical scales, and the link between local and global tendencies. It has become a major goal to reveal the power structures responsible for the emergence and maintenance of inequalities and to identify the institutional means and communication strategies various actors make use of in order to present even large disparities as tolerable. Great emphasis is placed on analysing the normative and subjective aspects of inequalities actually lived by individuals and communities in their micro-scale contexts. Applications are expected from students to carry out a research project on spatial disparities in the above presented framework, even with special emphasis on one of the aspects mentioned. The exact research topic will be fixed upon discussion with the applicant.
Required language skills: B2 level English Further requirements: Solid research experience in investigating socio-spatial inequalities; processing & synthesising a great amount of multidisciplinary literature. (Proficiency in another language and former involvement in related academic activities are welcome.)
