The Space of Crisis: Towards a Critical Geography of Complex Humanitarian Emergencies

This research project seeks to develop a radical geographical critique of contemporary humanitarian emergencies within the context of contemporary globalisation. It seeks to do so via an explicitly theoretical approach that is rooted in historical geographical materialism and critical theory, and in theories of the production of space in particular.
