Cultural Geography
The Cultural Geography group, led by Edward Huijbens, is committed to social theory in all its spatial articulations. The group advances creative, critical-constructive scholarship through exploring the ecological and social challenges facing all life on earth.
Research themes
The Cultural Geography chair group is committed to social theory in all its spatial articulations. In particular, the work of the group is focused on mobility (including tourism, leisure and migration studies) and the cultural politics of landscape (including questions of place, community, and heritage) in relation to spatial theory. A third area of interest is the intersection between people, nature, culture and landscape, also in socio-phenomenological terms.
Overall, we distinguish four main research themes:
- Tourism
- Health & Care
- Nature
- Landscape

Publications & Projects
The fundamental research at Wageningen University & Research is conducted by chair groups. Each chair group, under leadership of a professor, has its own area of expertise. All chair groups share a common research domain: healthy food and living environment. Wageningen University & Research is comprised of one faculty that is divided into five departments.
Projects of this Chair Group cover various topics in its own area of expertise. Outcomes of these studies are regularly published in scientific journals. You can find all publications and projects in Wageningen Library.
