Social Cultural Geographies

The Social Cultural Geographies (SCG) research group aims to support, invigorate, and develop holistic understandings of society, its spatial relations and its cultural trends. NUS Geography has long been recognized for its strength in various strands of social and cultural geography. These strands include research on migration and transnationalism, tourism, transport and digital infrastructures, cities and liveability, ageing and youth, and gender.

In our work, we endeavour to introduce Asian lenses to the field of social and cultural geography, and to broaden Western-centric interpretations of these fields. As well, we aim to generate societal impact by making our scholarship relevant to policy discussions and public debates. In so doing, we seek to offer socially attuned geographical education for graduates and undergraduates, to raise up a new generation of deep thinkers and leaders.
