The `Development Geography´ section of the University of Bonn’s Geography Department would like to invite you to our lecture series “Geographies of the Future – Negotiating Change and Development”.
The lecture series presents innovative geographical research that is envisaging and explaining possible futures. It seeks to evoke a conceptual debate about space and the future, while bearing in mind the ambivalent processes of development, productions of risks as well as constructions of security. The themes that will be addressed by seven internationally re-nowned researchers include climate change and land conflicts, development and international cooperation, borders and migration, energy security, future emergencies as well as conflicts in and about the future.
The lecture series starts this Thursday, 6th November 2014, at 6:15 p.m., with a lecture by Detlef Müller-Mahn (GIUB, Bonn) about „Future-making, uncertainty, and geographical imaginations of riskscapes in Africa“.
Venue: Geography Department, University of Bonn, Meckenheimer Allee 166, Alfred-Philippson-Hörsaal.
The next lectures then are:
- 13.11.2014: Sanghun Lee (Hanshin University, South Korea): “Radiant future: Riskscapes of nuclear power in South Korea”
