Human Geography
The Transient Spaces & Societies Research Group (led by Tabea Bork-Hüffer, Professor of Human Geography) explores how digital, cultural, and political transitions transform societies and space. The group investigates their implications for inclusion, exclusion, sustainability, and well-being. It also examined their role in power dynamics and future technological transformations.

Research
Digital, cultural, and political transitions are transforming societies and space at an increasing pace, from local to global scales. The Transient Spaces & Societies research group investigates how these processes impact inclusion, exclusion, sustainability, and well-being. A specific focus is on the role of various (emerging) digital technologies in socio-cultural negotiations, socio-political discourses, and power relations and shifts.
Transfer and Third Mission
We collaborate in transdisciplinary research and teaching to co-produce and share knowledge, engaging with stakeholders, including civil society. Science communication—through innovative formats and digital media—is both integral to our practice and a subject of our research.
