About us
We aim at (re)thinking and further developing economic geography from a critical perspective, taking international approaches into account. We focus especially on the following topics:
- Alternative economies and alternative economic practices
- Post-growth
- Geographies of Food and Critical Agrarian Studies
- Labor Geographies
- Financialization and globalization
- Economic, social, ecological and spatial implications of digitization and new technologies
- Causes and consequences of unequal development
- Alternative futures of urban and rural areas
These topics are linked by the questions of how we can better understand and deal with the current multiple crises; how, in view of these crises, can a necessary socio-ecological and just transformation of the economy and society succeed and what is perhaps preventing it; and what new, old, diverse, and plural theoretical and practical (economic geographical) approaches we can draw on in pursuing these questions.
A list of representative publications can be found here.
