JAMES D. SIDAWAY

I have served as a Professor of Political Geography at NUS since January 2012.  Previously I was Professor of Political and Cultural Geography at the University of Amsterdam and prior to that a Professor of Human Geography at Plymouth University, UK. During the 1990s, I was a lecturer at the University of Birmingham, UK.

My main research interests are:

1. Political geography and geopolitics, especially of cities, states and conflicts.

2. The history and philosophy of geography.

Bringing these together is an enduring fascination with the connections between geography and area studies.
