Dear all Since sending the below email on Monday, I've realised that I should have provided a bit more context on Geography at Brunel - particularly as we're not easy to find on the website! Some may recall that we used to have a Geography Department at Brunel, but that closed in 2007. Some of us stayed around! We now have a number of geographers and many with an interest in Geography across the various departments of the university. We also have a very active Human Geography Research Group with 18 members from across the social and political sciences, arts and humanities, education and elsewhere (I'm hoping we'll soon have a webpage for this). In general, there's a great deal of enthusiasm and support for Geography, including from the senior management of the university. It's in that context that we're launching a BSc Geography and BSc Human Geography and Anthropology in September (see https://www.brunel.ac.uk/geography). Our approach to both is very collaborative and we aim to produce geographers who are able to engage in a well-informed way across disciplinary boundaries. The single honours Geography programme will draw on expertise in Environmental Sciences and Civil and Environmental Engineering. The Human Geography side makes use of expertise across the Social and Political Sciences. But the two new posts are intended to boost the Geography component. While there is a degree of flexibility (and research profile is important), we would anticipate that the Lecturer in Geographies of Political Ecology and Environmental Justice http://careers.brunel.ac.uk/vacancy/lecturer-in-geography-of-environmental-change--environmental-justice---15186-526410.html is responsible for three modules: Year 1 Living with Environmental Change Year 2 Sustainable Development and Political Ecology Year 3 Environmental Justice And the Lecturer in Political Geography http://careers.brunel.ac.uk/vacancy/lecturer-in-politics---15243-526412.html: Year 1 Space, Place and Society Year 2 Geography: A Controversial Discipline (co-taught with Environmental Sciences team, but will include something on colonial history of Geography) Year 3 Race, Class and Space There would also be some methods teaching, and maybe something on the Politics programme for the political geographer, particularly in the first year or two. Do get in touch if you'd like to know more. Nicola.
