Your Program Highlights

Meet Your Program Coordinator,
Ranu Basu

I am always excited to see how our students draw on their geographical skills and insights to analyze the challenges facing
the world today. Our program emphasizes the linkages between environmental, economic, political, and social issues - from local urban neighbourhoods to global patterns and processes. It is so rewarding to see our students become advocates for sustainability, global justice and social transformation.

Research Keywords: Urban Social and Political Geography; Anti-Imperialism and Postcolonial Geographies; Critical Geographies of Education.
