Exeter Geography Research at the Royal Geographical Society Annual Conference 2016
Human Geography researchers from across the Geography department at the University of Exeter are presenting and sharing their research at the Annual International Conference of the Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers) in London this week.
With diverse research activities ranging from migration and asylum to domestic energy consumption, geographical higher education, domestic violence and food and fashion activism—there’s Exeter Geography research to engage with on every day of the conference.
